It’s been six months since I’ve been back in the States. In some ways my time in London almost feels like a dream. Movie like. There were ups and downs, as is life, but the opportunity to live in my favorite city in the world, one so rich in history, was one of the greatest experiences of […]
End of Summer: State of the Union
Okay, here goes nothing. This post has been written in my head, and talked about with friends for weeks now. Probably more like months. I got a little stuck on how to get back in the swing of things. The last blog post was about the Women Chefs and Restaurateurs National Conference that I attended […]
Women Chefs and Restaurateurs National Conference
A few weeks before I was moving back to Los Angeles, a friend texted me about this Women Chefs and Restaurateurs National Conference, which was taking place the second week I was back. The conference was a little pricey (with all the other moving costs, etc currently), so I debated attending the event for a few days. […]
On Being Home
Today marks exactly one month since I left London to move home to the States. In some ways it feels much longer than that, and in other ways, the time has flown by. Leaving London was tough. I’ve had a lot of incredible times in the Big Smoke over the past few years, but the […]
On Moving Home
In one week, I’m officially moving back to the States! During my final days as a London resident, I’m trying hard not to dwell on the day I leave, but to focus on making the best of every day I have left. My friend gave me advice that really resonated and my daily mantra the […]
2015 Year in Review
When I lived in the States, I would write a Christmas letter every year and I really enjoyed it. It was nice to think back and reflect upon the year, and I hope a good way to fill family and friends in on the happenings throughout the year. I decided to pick the tradition back up […]
Photo Essay: Ten Days in Italy
Italy is one of my favorite European countries. I had the chance to rekindle my love of the country back in April on a class gastronomy trip to the Amalfi Coast. It was magical – the food, the scenery, the culture – it was hard to board the plane to leave. When my family was […]
Thanksgiving Recipes
Thanksgiving Day is next week and I can’t wait! It is the holiday I look forward to most all year long. This year, I decided to put together a big post of all of my favorite Thanksgiving recipes! This will be my third Thanksgiving as an expat in the UK. It’s been a blast sharing […]
What Makes a Chef a Chef?
It all began one June evening, watching the sunset melt over London at the end of a long summer day. My friend and I were getting ready to enjoy a rooftop film screening. He’s a chef, and I was telling him about the work experience ideas I had for my culinary school course. My plans […]
Pastry School Diary: Work Experience
The work experience portion of pastry school took place during our two months. I’m a little belated in updating this, as some of my work experience goals were interwoven and extended over the past few months with some European travel. Here goes with a (very) belated update on the the various things I’ve gotten up to over […]
