I attended La Varenne at The Greenbrier and Le Cordon Bleu of Paris' Catering School.  I'm a
    member of The James Beard Foundation in New York and the Southern Foodways Alliance at Ole
    Miss.

    I began my food writing career with The Greenville News,  The Art of Fine Living Magazine, and Talk
    Greenville.  I later became the Food Editor for South Carolina Homes & Gardens Magazine until it
    sadly went on hiatus recently, and hopefully will come back soon since it was a beautiful magazine that
    featured South Carolina so well.  I've also been the guest editor for Recipe Corner Magazine,
    developing recipes for a special Southern food edition that was distributed nationally.  I currently free-
    lance magazine and newspaper articles as well as being the food writer for the PBS web page for
    Garden Smart, a PBS Television production.  Go to www.gardensmart.tv to see weekly recipes, and

    Television Cooking Shows
  • I have enjoyed cooking with Heather Sullivan and Judy Booker on CBS-WSPA in the Greenville,
    Spartanburg area fro many years following the Saturday morning news.
  • ABC-13 in Asheville, NC
  • The Peggy Denny Show at Dove Broadcasting,  available through cable and broadcast nationally
    through PBS. Peggy Denny is a wonderful and charming  hostess and is a former reporter with NBC
    New York, and the BBC in London. The Peggy Denny Show airs in the Atlanta market in the south
    and the PBS market in the western United States.  For recipes from Peggy's show, go to www.

    Cooking Classes- For over 10 years I've taught cooking classes at area stores and shops that include
    the Kitchen Emporium in Anderson, SC,  Foxfire, Williams-Sonoma, in Greenville, and Stone Soup in
    the upstate of SC. As well as cooking classes in private homes.

    In 1973 I became a private pilot and love anything to do with aviation even though I no longer fly.
    My husband Steve and I recently moved to the SC coast to be nearer family. We have 5 children and 9
    grandchildren.
