In the course of her career, Suzanne has owned a small farm-to-table restaurant, a catering company and a goose farm, and is also an award-winning food and travel journalist. She lives in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont with her partner, Jack, and together they grow vegetables, berries and mushrooms, and make maple syrup. She particularly loves growing tomatoes (she plants 60 different varieties each year), herbs, flour corn and beans for drying.

Suzanne’s primary culinary passions are developing recipes and menus using seasonal produce and other ethically sourced ingredients, and teaching people to cook with joy and confidence.

Whenever possible, she spends time in the woods harvesting wild leeks, morel and chanterelle mushrooms and a host of other delicious wild edibles.
