Welcome and thanks for checking out my website.

I am a freelance journalist and author specializing in lifestyle and travel writing, with a heaping spoonful of culinary curiosity on the side.

My love of France, the language, and the culture (and of course the food) lead me to write a culinary travel book, Walnut Wine & Truffle Groves, about the cuisine and the people of the Dordogne region. The book was was released in 2010 and is the recipient of the 2010 Gourmand International World Cookbook Award for Culinary Travel.

So, have a look around the site. Click the tabs and contact me with any questions. And definitely don’t be shy about commissioning me to travel, eat and write. It’s a tough job and I’m just the one to do it.
