I come from a French heritage and a long line of excellent cooks. My mother was French from the Alsace region and my father (Norman Gates) spent 17 years living with the French in France and in French Morocco. He was much involved with the wine industry in France and in United States, always curious about wine and wanting to share his knowledge. In many ways, culturally, I am more French than American. I spent five years of high school in the Loire Valley, (yes, now you see why I am partial to the Loire Valley). I am also bilingual. I feel that I have a good understanding of the people, their way of life and I would like to share it with my guests. I truly enjoy celebrating my French heritage and introducing you to all that I
love and hold dear.
Bon Appetit,
