I am so excited about the incredible group of North County culinary talent at this year’s Foodie Fest.

Can you share with readers who will be cooking? Speaking of chefs, you have a stellar lineup of them this year, which is very exciting. I recently moved from Encinitas to Oceanside, and as a North County resident and food writer, I want to collaborate with the community-oriented The Coast News to see that the extraordinary, booming culinary talent of North County receives the recognition that it deserves. The Oceanside dining scene, in particular, is exploding with the introduction of new restaurants and microbreweries. I feel that the North County culinary scene is underrated and ignored by the mainstream food press. What went into the decision to locate the event in Encinitas? The event is being held in Encinitas, which has become somewhat of a hub of the North County dining scene and is a perfect location to host an event like this. Now my focus is on creative food/travel writing, ceramic sculpture and Foodie Fest. In 2013, Chefs Press published my cookbook/art book called “Living Coastal: Entertaining, Cooking and Decorating California Style.” The book focuses on sustainable seafood and features 18 different local chefs and artists inspired by the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean. After remodeling my home in 2007 and receiving national media recognition, I launched an eco-friendly textile line of throw pillows and table linens. My colorful ceramic sculpture is on permanent display at Rady Children’s Hospital. We Are Proud To Continue The Mission To Promote, Educate And Build A Vibrant And Inclusive Caribbean Community That Contributes To The Success And Growth Of Durham Region.My background is in art and graphic design.
