About Me

I grew up cooking with all the lovely Greek ladies in my family. Always trying new restaurants in the city. I'm a big fan of the public/green market. I refused to touch raw meat until I went to college and was forced to cook for myself. I spend all of my money traveling and planning my next adventure. Lover of food photography and styling. Working in book publishing allows me to snag as many cooking and travel books as possible. Always up for a cocktail/dinner party. Classic Culinary Arts graduate of the French Culinary Institute in SoHo, NYC. Makin' things happen.

  • Dislikes: blueberries & french toast
  • All Time Favorite Restaurants: Perilla
  • Foods I cannot live without: olives
