I travel, cook, eat, observe, interact, live and write.

As a chef/food, wine and travel writer, I look for connections among people, their activities, the environment and what they eat that can tell the story of a region/culture, whether that be in the remote Andes Mountains or the streets of Philadelphia.

Hi, thanks for your note and further details. I write for ITAWA but I missed the post about Zimbabwe. My website was down this last month so this took a bunch of time to work with my designer and get it back up and online.  I'd like to know more details about the Zimbabwe trip.

My email is susan@frostphotography.com and my website www.frostphotography.com has links to my Facebook and Linked in profiles.
