Susan Herrmann Loomis
As an internationally-recognized expert on food and an award-winning journalist/author, Susan takes a unique approach to her craft; combining training in journalism with a love for food and the people who produce it. Extensive travel throughout the United States, France, Italy, the Middle East and parts of Asia has given Susan a depth of knowledge and an appreciation for the rich traditions around food—how it is grown, harvested, and prepared. Susan believes that learning about cooking and food should involve much more than recipes and techniques. She delights in meeting and introducing the personalities and customs behind the great cuisines of the world. Susan is the author of nine books both food and literary, the most recent of which is Nuts in the Kitchen (Harper Collins). Susan lives year round in the lovingly-restored convent in the center of Louviers, France. http://www.susanloomis.com
