As the recipient of a James Beard Foundation culinary scholarship, Ann studied in Bologna, Italy, an experience that forged a love of lasagne with béchamel sauce, and prohibitively expensive balsamic vinegar. She has also earned the Level 2 Award in Wine & Spirits with distinction from the Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET).
Ann was born in Orange County, California and after graduating from UCLA, she moved to New York City to work as a book editor. Thanks to her husband's diplomatic career, she moves often and has called many places home, including Hanoi, Vietnam and Beijing, China. Ann currently lives in Paris and Washington DC with her family.
