About

Amiable Life was created when I inherited a box of my Bubby’s recipes. At the same time, my Grandmother entered into assisted living. The opportunity to cook with either of them was gone. I wish I had spent more time with them in the kitchen.

Now, I’d like to visit your kitchen and learn your signature dish. I want to document it for your kids, and grandkids, and great grandkids. Not just yours, but the next generation of cooks throughout the world. What you do, feeding people and sharing your love of food is important and should be honored.

My PhD is in Educational Psychology, but to pay for grad school I spent many, many years in the food service industry. From catering companies to coffee shops, dishwashing to bartending, I’ve always been surrounded by food and people who love to eat.

Seriously, I’d like to cook with you and write about it on this blog. If you, or someone you know would like to be featured on Amiable Life, please email me at amiablelife@gmail.com

I promise, I’m a good eater.

This website is dedicated to the memory of my Bubby who cooked tongue and my Grandmother who cooked meatloaf.
