Hello! My name is Elaine (aka Gypsy) and I am currently living in North Carolina. I am a barista by trade and am getting ready to go the one of the biggest food conventions on the east coast in Orlando, Florida in April. Great coffees and wines are my passions. I am a short fiction writer who enjoys preparing and eating good food. I have had a secret desire to be a pastry chef for years and I would love to work with confections. I have enjoyed many cookbooks but have to admit that Delmonicos is one of my favorites. My pet peeves are people who crush cigarettes out in their plates...uhg...and non tippers. If I ever had any time off I would love to eat my way across Italy.
