About Me

I am known for melding storytelling, humor and culinary expertise, so I can tell a tale while making a memorable meal. Through writing and teaching, I deliver diverse culinary expertise, solid technical skills and tons of practical tips and hints. My creative recipes and wonderful food inspire people to cook with confidence and enthusiasm.

I live in Chapel Hill, North Carolina with my husband Doug Tidwell, daughter Lily Castle Tidwell and Domino the Hound of Renown.

I am a member of the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP), the Southern Foodways Alliance, the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association, the Chefs Collaborative, the North Carolina Writers’ Network and Slow Food USA.
