About Me

I grew up in a Canadian prairie city known for its giant mall. When my family moved to Paris for two years while I was growing up, I discovered patisseries and never looked back. My early efforts at making croissants and eclairs were total flops but that didn't stop me. At 26 I left my job as a food writer at a daily Canadian newspaper and moved to Paris. After ten years in Paris, where I wrote about restaurants for a number of guidebooks and magazines and founded the company Edible Paris, I now spend most of my time in Nice where I teach Provençal cooking in my home. I spend a few days every month in Paris keeping up with restaurants, conducting food tours, and sampling the finest patisseries and chocolates. With a charming French husband and food-loving four-year-old son, I consider my life just about perfect. The photos on this website (the good ones, anyway) are by me or my husband, Philippe Landry.

If you were a cannibal, what would you wear to dinner?

Is this a trick question?
