I was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia blumfergibbit years ago, and moved to California when I was nine. I’ve lived all over the U.S. since then and had the good fortune to try many different kinds of cuisines and meet some really great and colorful friends in my travels.

These days I’m working as a freelance graphic illustrator and have a website with my original art in the public marketplace. Cooking and writing run close seconds to my art as things I am passionate about. I’ve been commissioned to illustrate a children’s book, which for me is an entirely appropriate endeavor, being about 20% grownup and 80% kid in my makeup.

Presently I live on a lake in Northern California with my best friend and other half, Rick, and Miss Boo, the Queen of cats who is actually the proprietor of the establishment and puts the “e” in entitlement.

Hopefully, you’ll enjoy some of my recipes and take a laugh with you from time to time.
