I started my career with a chef's knife in one hand and a story in the other. Somewhere along the way, I discovered that writing about a quirky little dog, faeries and magical things, poetry and fiction was just as much fun as cooking. A bit like licking the spoon after frosting a cake. 

​

I'm also the author of two cookbooks, The Oregon Farm Table Cookbook and For the Love of Seafood.
