I grew up in Brooklyn before it became the center of the universe, and I’ve lived in Israel, China, and Seattle, my favorite! I love shopping in local markets, learning new ways to cook, and entertaining guests. My latest kitchen adventures are in mixology, concocting craft cocktails for every occasion.
Ever since grade school matched me with an Australian pen pal, writing has been a big part of my personal life. It’s really paid off - over a five-year correspondence, my husband and I fell in love from across the ocean.
I write about food, wine, travel, current events, physician wellness, and growing up as the daughter of Holocaust survivors. My current project is a travel column, Meanderings, which appears monthly for Sound Publications in both online and print versions.
