Lisa

Born and lives in the Bay Area, Lisa has an immense affinity for great food, wine and entertaining. Living here affords her the opportunity to enjoy the wine country, abundant farmers markets and a vast array of gourmet food stores and brilliant restaurants. These are all wonderful inspirations for the “Authentic Suburban Gourmet” blog. By day, she is a successful executive with a Human Capital Firm. The creation of this blog allows her an outlet outside of her professional life to express her creativty, passion, imagination and artistic side, through documenting her cooking experiences to her blog. She is a self-taught cook who learned the basics from her Mother, reading cookbooks and watching a lot of cooking shows. She creates or adapts recipes to make them her own. Lisa enjoys taking every opportunity to share her love of cooking with others by throwing dinner and cocktail parties, baking cookies and cooking for her “number one fan”, her husband Charles. Authentic Suburban Gourmet is a project that has been in the works for many years and with the blogging phenomenon, it has now become a reality.
