I favor food, which often involves wild edibles and foraging.

I admire the art of a crafted cocktail and the storytelling that accompanies it.

 

A qualified wine sommelier, I love wine without pomp and ceremony. If there's a wild beach I'm in my happy place and I'm always in search of new ones. I can usually be found writing, cooking, beekeeping, foraging, taking pictures and chasing the light in one of my three favorite places: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Cape Town, South Africa and Wilmington, North Carolina.

My first book, "Monkey Weddings & Summer Sapphires," is out now.
