Best of Gastronomie: Culinary Book Author, Food Writing Ambassador

It me!

This photo was taken my Swedish friend and colleague, Ulrica Soderlind, as we were gathered around the table at the Umea Food Symposium and Gourmand Awards, in Sweden’s Arctic Circle. I don’t think I even posed or said cheese, we were just sitting there rehashing the world of food and the food of the world and i didnt’ even notice the click. Several months later, looking for a photo, she sent me this, this wonderful one. To me it encapsulates so much about enjoying and communicating about food: simply being there, and noticing, enjoying and communicating this.

-Georges Grunenwald (President Best of Gastronomie)

Often I feel as if no one is paying attention, so it means even more, when this honour comes from out of the blue, telling me: we have seen your many many books, and they are amazing, and we want to recognize you.

I love: the international quality of the group; the inter-generational, intercultural, and sincere love of food and its preparation, of feeling people with care respect and delight.

Looking forward to what I can bring to the plate, and to what I can learn from all of you, around the world and around the table.

With love,

Marlena
