Biography

A jujube is Chinese date. I don't love Chinese dates, per se, but I do love the word 'jujube'. Say it a few times real fast, and you will too. Jujubejujubejujube.

I am a free-lance writer, and the author of "The Mere Mortal's Guide to Fine Dining: From Salad Forks to Sommeliers, How to Eat and Drink in Style Without Fear of Faux Pas" (Broadway Books, 2006).
