I’m a ”culinary adventuress” who discovered a love of food and cooking through studying French, living in Toulouse, France and traveling extensively in Europe and elsewhere. I created this blog in order to share my experiences, ideas and opinions on food, and in hopes that you will share yours. My intention is to create a journal/memoir of my daily life as told through the filter of food and drink. So, in addition to my recipes and experiments, you can expect there to be posts on restaurants, potlucks with friends, holiday meals with family, cookbook and food-related book reviews and more.
When I’m not cooking, blogging or working, I can be found behind the drum kit/microphone in my band, Scarlet Oaks.
Thanks for visiting, and Happy Eating!

Well done, Noelle! (Get it?)
Although I can follow a basic receipe well enough, I don’t fancy myself a cook. My oven doesn’t even work for crying out loud!
But you may be proud to learn i’ve totally embraced my Slow Cooker, and armed with the recent gift “Crock * Pot; The original Slow Cooker Recipe Collection”, i’m going to be well-fed this winter ( albeit cheating a little)!

Noelle was helping me in the kitchen from the time she was small. I remember making fortune cookies with her and her Blue Bird group when she was in grade school. In high school she hosted her first dinner party. She used recipes from a French cookbook her Uncle Joe had given us. I remember the tomato pie was absolutely delicious!

I’m so happy several people I know have recently started food blogs. I enjoy cooking, but am def. a novice. So, guidance, recipes and ideas from friends are much appreciated!

Hello Noelle, it’s me, Monique from Al Dente Pasta. I love your newsletter. I’m hoping you can contact me asap—for a lot of reasons. I don’t want to make my cell phone available to everyone on your blog so can you email me. My son is heading to Toulouse for next year and working on cool projects that you will find interesting. Our first exchange student from France is here right now. etc. etc. etc.
