Inspired by the name of my favorite dessert, the signature dish and namesake of Sologne's famed Hotel Tatin, I began this site as a place to share insightful tips, recipes, words of wisdom, and impart my love for la bonne vie.
From an early age I’ve been decadently in love with “the good life.” Before my career took me to New York City, I was eating my way across Europe, having been raised in France and Belgium, beginning first with frites and gauffres on the streets of Brussels! In other words, my childhood years imbued me with an appreciation for the finer things in life and I’ve spent my years since chasing them! (My love for wine, however, did have to wait until my junior year abroad.)
