I have a true passion and undying love for gastronomy.
I'm a founder of CulinaryCulture, a site devoted to serious and aspiring foodies. I dabble in custom architectural and interior design from time to time. I have a couple of other exciting projects in the works, so stay tuned!

I'm also married to a rather interesting man, who has started companies like Threadless.com.

  1. Happy 28th Birthday to my main squeeze.

  2. Savory Radish Salad with Cottage Cheese and Scallions. I had never been a fan of cottage cheese, until I sampled a similar salad at the culinary mecca that is Blackberry Farm. I’m hooked now. This salad is a refreshing alternative to the heavier fall salads we’re typically accustomed to. Radishes are in abundance now, and I couldn’t be happier. They’re a natural immune booster, packed with vitamin C. They’re also a loaded vessel of cancer-fighting, beautifying, detoxifying antioxidants.

  4. Mornings are absolutely spectacular in the great smokies. Spending a few days in this environment amazed me. Not only for it’s obvious beauty, but also the effect it had on my body. I felt refreshed, clear, and alive. Three things that are hard to achieve with a heavy work load and a fast-paced lifestyle. It solidified my dreams of one day living on a somewhat remote property, where I could grow my own food and keep a couple of horses.

  5. Spicy Udon Noodles with Broccoli and Daikon. This was a last minute concoction I made last night after too many hours of economic discussion. Is there anything a little sriracha sauce can’t cure? (via my flickr)
