I am a published author (since 1995), professional cook, teacher, mentor, and consultant. Thirty years ago, I moved to rural Southwestern France on a barge. I bought an old farmhouse, Camont, and its 300-year-old kitchen became the focus for hundreds of hungry friends and cooking guests over the years. I started teaching cooking classes in that Kitchen-at-Camont and writing down the stories I told in published books and articles, and in a library of digital writing. The Camont Journals are now housed on Substack and are the main focus of my professional work as a writer. In 2022, I transformed the cooking school into the Relais de Camont Creative Residency.
