I am a freelance writer based in Hong Kong and Paris. But I’m from Cleveland, originally. 
I used to be a pastry cook, first in Colorado and then in New York where I worked for Jonathan Waxman and Gabrielle Hamilton, among others.
I’m a Hong Kong contributor to the Forbes Travel Guide, and I’m also writing about HK restaurants on my new blog, Eat (Think) Hong Kong.

Love the new blog. Congrats on a new start!
I found your blog just before leaving for Paris and I really enjoyed it! I’m in Paris until next Tues.July 21…and am wondering what foods i.e. condiments,sugar even wine,you would suggest I bring back to North America with me that Iwon’t be able to buy there. I live in Montreal Canada, so have some access to French foods but I can see SO
MUCH here that I don’t know about.
Thanks for your advice…and I will definitely spread the word about your blog!

Hello Barbarba
I am one of those DL linked new readers of yours and just love your blog. All the very Best from Rome, Donatella
Just found your blog, looking for a creme de marron recipe. Love it. I went to college in Paris many decades ago and your photos and posts bring back great memories.
Do you have a good recipe for vin chaud?

Hi Barbra
I made your carrot cake, but even though I followed your recipe exactly for the frosting, it is too runny to ice my cake with. What did I do wrong? I used ‘lighter’ medium fat cream cheese. Thanks for any feedback
