I’m Danielle. And I am an early thirty-something culinary fanatic who has finally reached her geographic destiny: Sonoma County. {Ahhh…}
That’s where I do a majority of my living, working, and playing. My blog stories and recipes include a pinch of humor, a dash of local flavor, a tad of knowledge, and a smidgen of vintage flare.
My love of food began at an early age thanks to my french mother, who always stressed the importance of a quality home-made meal and the spirit of adventure when being in the kitchen.
To date, I am hard pressed to find a cookbook I don’t like. My voracious reading habits and quest for knowledge has led me on the path for all things gastronomic, and for this fulfilling lifestyle there is no place better than Sonoma County.
So join me as I explore Sonoma County with bold knife and fork… I promise, it won’t be dull.
Fantastic to meet you last night and BTW, I would not try and tame that smile one bit! (Thomas)
Hey Ms. Sonoma Girl,
I’ve called you a few times at your work number, but didn’t leave a message. Thank you for your message about my sister. I was at TJ’s today and thought of you – as I often do. I think we should try to reconnect. When is the best time to get in touch?

Nice to hear you enjoyed the Heart of Sonoma Valley. Several of those grape stompers out there are doing a great job with very different wine styles. Next time your visting Napa feel free to take our Rooster along for protection! Cheers, Eric

Have you ever eaten at Chez Panisse? I’ve always been curious if Alice Waters food lives up to its reputation.
I have and I loved it. Both the dining room downstairs and the cafe above which is more casual.
