I pitch pieces of flavor into the atmosphere. Some have landed at Jewish content sites like Nosher, Tablet Mag. Jewcy. Kveller. My cri de coeur is floating somewhere out there. Published in 2012 by Behrman House Get Cooking.

Through it all I was keeping some form of a a blog, a journal set to flavor. It has gone through several versions, from young-mommy-trying-to-figure-it-out, to aspiring cookbook diva.

For a while I thought it would be a showcase for my cook/book manuscript- my novel disguised as a cookbook (or vice versa).

Now this is the latest iteration: a recipe-diary-workbook.

The nutshell: I love words and I crave flavor.

I am the product of a ravenous culinary arts education, with a particular emphasis on books and writing. I threw it down by the handful: Gourmet cooking magazines, hither/ thither/yon blogs, hardcover cookbooks, the Cook’s Memoir, and an ongoing penchant for uber-compelling glossy national brand recipe chapbooks cannily placed near the candy bars and gum at check-out.

I am brewing something up, not sure exactly what it is yet, but it’s multi flavored and many-textured.

You’re invited to read on, and please let me know of any recipes or reco’s you’d think I’d like.
