About Me

I'm a 26 year old culinary management student. I live with my boyfriend, Pete (also a professional cook), our cat Rupert Shinobi Fishkins, and our betta fish, Habanero Trout in a gorgeous old apartment in downtown Charlottetown. I graduate in May '09 and then it's off to conquer the world, culinary style!

I love history, especially culinary and social history -- I'm not really interested in battles, I'd rather hear about every day life. I also enjoy the history of fashion, costume, and textiles.

I also love design. Graphic design, industrial design, you name it.

I'm a fairly tactile person, texture appeals to me. I'm usually drawn to colours on the cool side of the spectrum, although I do like red.

I like dramatic, classic clothes. My wardrobe has a lot black, white, grey, and vibrant jewel tones in it.

I LOVE books.

Reference books are one of my greatest pleasures. The more detail I can learn about a subject, the happier I am. I also love cookbooks and anything to do with food and cooking.

I don't like liquorice.

Favorite Music

Frou Frou, Esthero, Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, A Perfect Circle, Metric, The Strokes, The White Stripes, etc;

Favorite Movies

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, My Neighbour Totoro, Run Lola Run, Amelié, Shaun of the Dead, etc;

Favorite Television

Lost, Iron Chef, America's Next Top Model (guilty pleasure, that.)...

Favorite Crafts

Sewing and clothing reconstructions, paper craft, silk screening...

Comment: Amelia, this was such a fun package, I even hated to tear the paper off because you'd decorated my address so prettily. I loved all the cookie cutters, seed packets, embroidery kit, hot chocolate (Florida is having a cold snap this week, yum!) and handmade necklace. My very favorites were the handwritten letter & kitschy backed recipe, both sparkling with your charming illustrations. Thanks for sacrificing your cool calendar. Since I can't award you extra hearts, here's a handful o' stars: **********! Ann

Comment: What a great letter! I've often wondered about how culinary schools operate and thoroughly enjoyed attending with you for a day as well as learning about the people with whom you share your days.
