Biography
Originally from Florida, I have lived in the Pacific Northwest for the better part of 18 years. Three of those years were spent in Paris France with my two children, where my love for food and the French culture exploded.
If I had been aware of this medium of communication when we moved to France in 2003, I would have had the pleasure of chronicling my year at the Ecole Superior de Cuisine Francaise in the 6th arrondissement and the two years of cooking and catering in Paris that followed: The joys and pains. I think someone has since done just that. I wonder if I would have had the strength after some of those days to recapture the tastes and the emotions that bombarded me. But, it would have been wonderful to have it all out there to share and to look back on....
We have been back on Orcas for almost three years and it’s been great but I’m itching for another adventure. The retail store has been a lot of fun and there have been some classes and catering and did I mention a café sprinkled in over the past 2 and ½ years. A lot of learning in and out of the kitchen!
For now, I enjoy our garden, cooking for family and friends with and without pay, working at Chez Chloe and being a mother. I love my culinary magazines that inspire me- try Australia’s Vogue Entertaining and Travel sometime. And I love our trips abroad.
