I am an award-winning writer & author specializing in food & culture. I have a deep passion for authentic traditional French home cooking and its history; I share my expertise in my Substack Life's a Feast.

I am the host of Stir Crazy with Jamie Schler & Peter Strzok podcast, talking food with the most intriguing people who you least expect to talk about food.
