About Jennifer Zambone
Jennifer Zambone’s second spoken word was “cookie” and not much has changed since then. Cookies remain a frequent topic of her conversation along with pie, bread, cake, meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, cheese, alcohol and all things digestible that won’t kill you. At least not right away.
Jennifer has written absolutely nothing of note, already has a law degree, and harbors no illusions about her skills in the kitchen (adequate) or the discernment of her palate (none). She just likes reading about, hearing about, thinking about, and eating food.There are 9 posts by Jennifer Zambone
