After a long career in public service, I wondered about the next chapter of my life. What would it resemble? I am a self-taught chef, a self-proclaimed foodie, and a novice photographer. I love to travel and experience different cuisines. Let me inspire your inner chef. One Plate at a Thyme is my next chapter.
Every Meal Has a Story
I want to share stories about some of my most memorable meals. I believe every ingredient is a unique character of the tale. My recipes highlight their contribution.
Food Brings People Together
Cooking with others encourages trust and understanding. Sharing a meal around a table creates a space to connect and exchange ideas. A meal can strengthen relationships by building a sense of community and closeness.
Experiment with Different Cuisines
Looking back, I realize life is too short not to try something new and different. What can be more different than food?
Food has nutritional value. But it is the unique flavors, textures, and smells that make it great. My mission is to give curious eaters the courage to try adventurous dining.
Cooking Should not be a Chore
My recipes are perfect for a quick weekday meal or elegant weekend feasts. Most are kid-friendly and child-approved. Each recipe has tips to make them easy to follow and simple to understand. They include alternative ingredients, different ways of preparation, and time-saving store-bought hacks.
Inspire Your Inner Chef
Follow the recipes as you would a roadmap. There are many ways to get to your destination. My goal is to inspire your inner chef to travel a new road. Join me on a culinary adventure as we experience food One Plate at a Thyme.
