“perhaps I ruffled a few feathers on the “other” site” <<<
Not everyone has to agree with everyone all the time, but your one of those guys that if somebody can’t get along with you, its “their” fault !!!

Thanks Tom, mighty kind of you to say.
I’m in the Inland Empire, Palm Springs to be exact. Food writing and methodologies are my thing, but I’m liable to weigh in anywhere. Regional American foods are my specialty - you want to know the difference between ponhaus and scrapple, or
cold shape and headcheese, I’m the one to ask.
My best food experience lately has been having to put my imagination to the test, as I’ve been working at a company that turns out 700+ meals a day on a very limited budget. In general my all-time best food experience was realizing that I could make a living doing what I love: Cooking and writing about food.
On Chowhound, I went by mamachef. I’m so happy to see a lot of familiar names here!! Hoping that this community is as real, and vibrant and fun.

- Baking bread. It’s my recent passion thanks to the Great British Bake off
- The first time I went to Brittany, a friend who knew the area well said “it’s a good job you’re cycling, to work all the great food off”. He wasn’t wrong, great seafood, crepes, pastries, biscuits, cider…yum.
- Some of my happiest memories involve cooking with my mum and grandmother. I always spend Christmas Eve afternoon cooking with the carol concert from Kings on the radio, as always used to.

Any story or memory of cooking with grandparents always makes me smile. I too learned to cook from my grandmother who lived with us, so many of my earliest memories of being around her apron strings just trying to help in some way.

Where are you?
Right now? Italy
What food-related topic are you most passionate about, that you want people to ask you about and you can’t stop talking about it?
Don’t care if anybody asks me about it, but most passionate about eating local, admittedly easier to do in Italy than just about any place else in the 1st world
What’s a great food experience you have had?
Tasting new olive oil right where I live.
