TASTY TRIX: About Me

Who Am I?

My real name is Tracey, but you can call me Trix. Everybody else does these days.

I live in a South Philly rowhouse with my two cats, Mr. Darcy and his sister, Georgiana, or Georgy for short.

I have been a professional writer and editor for more years than I care to divulge, at least until we know one another a little bit better. These days, I write for print and online media about my passions: food, drink, and travel. In addition, I share my adventures, recipes, and ideas with an active and engaged international readership right here on Tasty Trix.

I went to culinary school. I have cooked in a granola bakery and a Middle Eastern restaurant. I used to do kung fu and play the drums.

What Do I Do?

I write. I take photos. I develop recipes. I feel incredibly fortunate that I get paid to do these things.

I travel whenever I can, most recently to Mexico City, Prague, Krakow, and New Orleans. I always want to move to the most recent city I’ve visited. You can read about my trips (and what I ate and drank, of course) here on Tasty Trix.

Traveling inspires me to come home and cook, and I indulge my love of world cuisines by creating accessible dishes with an international twist, like "Cochon de Lait" a l'Afrique or Sriracha Crab Ravigote. I also have fun tweaking the classics, as I did with The Opulent Open Face.

Why Do I Do It?

The world is big and life is short. There is so much to taste, to see, and to experience and I am doing my best to do it all and then share it with you.
