About

Hi.  My name is Barbra and I live in 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 began blogging in Paris in 2007, on my blog Serve It Forth. If you read that site, thank you!  Most of that content has made its way to this new space and is available in the archives.

In Paris I lead gastronomic walks, am the assistant editor of Paris by Mouth, and a regular contributor to Girls’ Guide to Paris.

    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!
