I opened my shop in December 1995. I had sent postcards to newspapers that had 'food' sections, to chefs, to wine shops and anything food connected. I was amazed at the response and realized how unprepared I was at running my own bookstore. My picture was in the International Herald Tribune and The New York Times. I was bombarded by phone calls and I only had the house phone at the time. I have a passion for 'old books' and any old shop-- hardware stores, candy shops, Army/Navy, farm stands. I continue to learn about my trade and I'm the first to confess I am not a scholar. I am also very particular about food writing and if a  bibliography was added to show the references used. I'm 64. Born in NJ. Growing up, we never ate at restaurants. I am College educated. Married. I worked in a bookstore for many years on Chambers Street in NYC. I started reading non stop then--I have always cooked lovingly for my family. My kitchen in NYC is beautiful and I hope someone in my family will remember the cherry tarts & cheese souffles I made--  I have a garden in Vermont but my husband and I gather food as well.  I live in a early 19th century house in NYC-- that since 1975. There is a website I do periodically look at-- That of Ivan Day. It is from the UK.
