chef & food writer

I’m a chef, recipe developer, writer, tea and spice blender living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I love exploring the beauty and utility of Southwest ingredients and helping people feel inspired and confident cooking at home.

I greatly enjoy your writing and recipes!

We read your column regularly and often make your recipes. Just want you to know that the turkey pot pie was divine!
