About me
I am a photographer living and working in Madison WI. I shoot freelance for area magazines, and also teach photography in UW Madison programs. My photography deals with gender roles and childhood stories. I have a husband, a dog and a very teeny kitchen.
My Favorite Foods
I was taught that a smart woman married a man that could cook. I did, and now he's teaching me to cooknot the original intention, I think. For the first time in my life I'm not scared of the stove! My dad was the cook in our family, and never allowed anyone in to watch or chat, and our kitchen is very different. I can't cook without chatter!
I love taking recipes from down home (gumbo, my dad's chicken noodle soup, chicken and dumplings, tanaglini?!) and converting them to vegetarian for my family. My husband works for VomFass USA which provides us alot of cooking creativity!
We are vegetarian (pescetarian, actually, since we weren't going to give up fresh Gulf shrimp when we visit home, or sushi) and something we love about Madison is the local food and whole food movement....we cook and eat organic when we can, and raid friends' gardens in the summer. I love rice, and my husband loves pasta, and we are constantly looking for new things to do with those staples.
