I'm an award-winning cookbook author, travel writer and founder of Alberta Food Tours, Inc. Currently, I'm working on two cookbooks. Eat Alberta First is all about recipes to help people choose local first and Faces Places and Plates will feature beloved chef friends throughout South India. I love to cook, hike, golf, and cycle with my family. How do I savour it all? It's very simple. Each day I meditate and do some yoga practices that keep me balanced and continually heading in the right direction - within. You are very welcome here!
