I am a dark chocolate fan and I love this food store.My favorite used to be the sea salt caramel, now, after the choco/wine tasting party , I don't know WHAT is my favorite candy. It is well worth the visit to just go in and taste the samples, but of course they KNOW you will buy candy after you taste it. Lucky ducks who get to walk to the Jefferson store or any one living in Maplewood. AAH, Easter bunnies take notice!
Hello, my name is Natalie.
I'm an omnivore with some vegetarian tendencies.
I love to pore over cookbooks, browse good food photography, and voraciously read food literature.
Food is an art.
I'm interested in the history and origins of foods, and I find food science fascinating.
Travel and exploration are a couple of my loves- I've been to Mexico (but never the beach), Guatemala, England, France, Austria, Germany, Italy, Sicily, Malta, Gabon, and Australia- several places multiple times. I'd go anywhere though!
I cook a little for work and a lot for pleasure.
Favorite cuisines include French, Italian, and California.
Though I have two other jobs in addition, in real life my education is as an occupational therapist (mostly with experience in orthopedics), and I think about working in private practice OT one of these days with children who have a variety of disabilities while using cooking as therapy for things such as tactile defensiveness and fine motor control.
I don't have formal culinary training. Anything I know is from trial-and-error, reading, experience, and what others have shared with me.
They *are* so great!! Especially with port. :)
