about the author

I’m a writer, mother, and creative writing teacher—-originally from South Florida, I’ve been based in Tokyo for 14 years now. I write about honoring culture within food, both about Japanese cuisine, my adopted culture, like with sukiyaki here in The Epoch Times, ice-cold somen here, and “Japan’s Obsession with Mont-Blanc Cake” for Taste, and Jewish food and memory, the conversations and palette of my bones.

You can find more of my writing here, on Eaten Japan.

I research and write about Holocaust Education, too, in LA Review of Books.

As a guest teacher at Temple University Tokyo, I teach on the wonderfully nuanced, historical, and delicious subject of Jewish Food.

You can find me making challah & leading seasonal Zoom workshops, too!
