About

I am passionate about inspiring home cooks to tuck away the takeout menus and take back their kitchens.  I love a good recipe that works and I love sharing the truly useful tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way cooking for my family and in my world as a culinary professional.     I respect your time and your desire as well as mine to please others.  This is the place where I share delicious stuff I make so that you can too.   I’ve called it “The Home Artist” because I believe that’s what we are…’artists.’   We seek, we cook,  we imagine, we craft and create authentic homes, authentic lives  with good food,  good times and pretty things.

With 15 years experience as network  TV producer and development executive I just couldn’t hold back my passion for food any longer.   I honed the art and science of recipe writing and testing while working in the Los Angeles Times food section test kitchen,  attended culinary school,  apprenticed in a few amazing LA restaurants  and now work as a culinary producer,  writer, food stylist, caterer and cooking instructor.   My style if I had to peg it would be global comfort food….from Korean to kosher,  if someone’s grandmother made it….I’m gonna learn how to make it.  I am happiest  when I’m running to catch up with people who are walking a little faster than me.
