  • Excluded in Paris: When You Can't Stomach Being Fancy
    Oct 28 2025

    Culinary-Snobs-A-Plenty in cities like Paris, San Francisco, or New York. In Paris, at every corner café terrace I am reminded that I can't fit in (nor want to) with the cool kids who LOOK SO GOOD sipping on scotch on the rocks or downing whole fresh oysters in one swift move. I reflect on how some of us may not be so high-up in the pecking order of fancy eaters - it's an ego-crusher. In every episode, I share stories about "la vie en rose." Part memoir, part travel stories, part homage to the deliciousness that satiates human appetites, Kitchenette Paris travels to the dreamscape of the heart, where we celebrate splendor and delight.

  • Soupe du Jour for the Soul
    Sep 25 2025

    I reflect on the ego-bruising experience of buying beauty cream at Parisian pharmacies, and the imaginary ailments that seem to afflict all my French neighbors. I conclude that grandma's advice to eat soup when under the weather works for me, and make a delicious French Pot Au Feu soup. In every episode, I share stories about "la vie en rose." Part memoir, part travel stories, part homage to the deliciousness that satiates human appetites, Kitchenette Paris travels to the dreamscape of the heart, where we celebrate splendor and delight.
