I Have A Mantra In My Head

I Am A Glutton For A Beautiful Hotel. I Am So Easily Smitten By High Thread Counts.

Balance Is Key In Cooking - You Want A Little Acid, A Little Sweet, A Little Savory - The Flavors Should Be Harmonious.

I Love The Inn At Palmetto Bluff, An Auberge Property In Bluffton, South Carolina. Its A Spectacular Corner Of The World, With Massive Old Trees Lined With Spanish Moss, And Alligators Swimming In The River.

I Eat For A Living, So Working Out Is Definitely Part Of My Job, The Same Way That The Eating, Tasting, And Drinking Is. I Try To Keep Up A Consistent Workout Routine, But I'm Not The Kind Of Person Who Goes To The Gym Every Day And Does The Same Routine.

I Had Decided I Wanted To Write About Food, And I Knew The Only Way To Do That Is To Speak With Authority, Which Meant Learning The Language And Knowing What That Experience Is Like.
