THE IDEA OF REACHING PEOPLE THROUGH FOOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PART OF ME. I FOUND MY LOVE OF CHEESE & CHARCUTERIE WHEN I WAS JUST A CHILD, RUMMAGING THROUGH MY GRANDAD’S REFRIGERATOR LOOKING FOR THE LATEST SALAMI AND CHEESE THAT HE HAD ACQUIRED FROM THE LOCAL DELI. THIS OBSESSION CONTINUED TO GROW AS MY MOTHER DUBBED ME THE MAKER OF THE “CHEESE PLATES” FOR ALL OF OUR HOLIDAYS, PARTIES AND WEEKEND HANGOUTS. I’M SURE IT WAS MOSTLY TO TAKE A LITTLE WORK OFF OF HER BUT SHE’LL NEVER REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVED AND APPRECIATED CREATING BEAUTIFUL GRAZING PLATTERS FOR MY FAMILY TO ENJOY.
IN 2014, I MET THE LOVE OF MY LIFE AND NOW HUSBAND. WE BEGAN EXPLORING ALL THAT SONOMA COUNTY HAD TO OFFER. WINE COUNTRY PULLED ME CLOSE AND NEVER LET ME GO. WE TOURED LOCAL TOWNS, ENJOYED SCRUMPTIOUS RESTAURANTS AND TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE VARYING LANDSCAPES, FROM THE BEACHES OF THE BAY TO THE VINEYARDS OF THE VALLEYS. ALL THE WHILE, CEMENTING MY LOVE FOR CHEESE, BUT NOW PAIRING IT WITH YUMMY WINES!
ONCE 2020 CAME ABOUT, SO DID THE OPPORTUNITY TO BREAK OUT ON MY OWN AND TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH TO DO WHAT I LOVE...EATING & CREATING!!
IN 2023, I MADE A HUGE LIFE CHANGE.
MY HUSBAND AND I DECIDED TO MOVE TO AUSTRALIA!!!
SO IN FEBRUARY 2024, WE ARE OFF TO CHANGE OUR LIVES.
I'LL STILL BE ABLE TO REFER YOU THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST, SO PLEASE DON'T BE SHY. I'LL STILL POST A BIT ON SOCIAL, SO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR MY LATEST CREATIONS THERE & MAYBE I'LL SHARE SOME LOCATION CREATIONS I COME TO LOVE. WHO KNOWS WHAT THIS ADVENTURE HAS IN STORE FOR US?!!!
&& WE COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED!
