Although design is my life—at least writing about it—all things culinary are my favorite pastimes. I love to cook as much as I love to eat, and read cookbooks cover-to-cover like novels.

You leap into it with an open mind and hope for a happy future together over many delicious meals. Last week I had a date with Bastille.
