about
grown and raised near a swamp in the acadiana region of southern louisiana -- cajun country -- i am a unique mix of an old soul and being young at heart.
after college at the university of notre dame, living and traveling abroad in africa, australia, europe, and asia, living in a fair number of cities in the u.s., and law school at emory university, i returned to louisiana to practice law.
while practicing law in louisiana, i inconveniently met a charming doctor at a good friend's wedding in nyc. almost two years, many frequent flyer miles, and a heck of a cajun-italian-jewish wedding later, i've relocated to durham, north carolina.
new husband, new town, new house (in the midst of renovations), new life. but, my love of amateur cooking and gardening remain. this website memorializes my successful experiments in the kitchen -- with attention on local north carolina foods and cajun influences. but, i love all types of foods.
i hope you enjoy!
Durham, North Carolina
