Bienvenue and welcome to Toast2Taste. I have been living and working between San
Diego and Paris for more than 25 years.
My goal is always to help people experience Paris as an active participant in the daily
life of the city, through the food, the people and the language.
Trained
as a sociologist and applied linguist, I dabble. At various points in the year, and depending
on the country in which I find myself, I am a personal chef, court interpreter,
research assistant, French teacher, and administrator for Paris study abroad programs. A confirmed linguaphile, the French language
is the common thread running through these occupations, yet the heart of a culture
is often most accessible through its cuisine, and this is the lens through
which I often view the life and culture of Paris. This blog is intended as a space to share
insights into intercultural themes, practical Paris
information and snapshots of life in Paris,
often with a meal in mind.
Feel
free to contact me if you have any questions about Paris. I’d love to hear from
you.
À bientôt!
