About the Author
Mardi is a full-time French teacher to elementary school-aged boys and the author of eat. live. travel. write - a blog focusing on culinary adventures near and far.
She was born in Adelaide, Australia and has lived and worked as a teacher in Australia, Hong Kong, England, France and now calls Toronto home, having followed Mr Neil back home after they met in Morocco in 1999. They are proud parents to Cleo, an opinionated 16 year-old Burmese cat. In 2014, they purchased an historic home in southwest France, which they operate as a vacation rental property so they spend a fair bit of time in France these days too!
As part of her job, Mardi runs cooking classes twice a week for 7-12 year-old boys, Les Petits Chefs and Cooking Basics. As well as writing on her blog, she has also contributed to JamieOliver.Com, written cookbook reviews for RecipeGeek.Com and currently contributes to FoodNetwork.ca. In her spare time I teach French pastry classes around Toronto.
In the French Kitchen with Kids (Appetite by Random House, July 2018) is her first book.
