Washing Up
Good Morning, Hola, Buenas Días, Bom Día, Guten Morgan,
I have realised that I had not introduced myself yet to the Community Members and so here is a brief intro.
I am a professional publishing Journalist in both the print media sector and online ( website of my own), living and working in the Mediterranean since 1994.
I specialise in Chef Interviews, Mediterranean cuisines, wines and travel features. I am often entitled a Globetrotting Journalist with wings and wheels.
My paternal Grandmother Margherite, inspired my profoundly steeped interest in the culinary and wine world years ago when I worked at her Trattoria in Little Italy, Manhattan. I handled the Front of the House and the Bar dealing with customers, wines, distributors, sales reps, all the administrative and clerical tasks etcetra. She hailed from Lombardia, Italia and had immigrated to N.Y.C. in 1920 with my dad, his twin brother and a younger brother. I had admired her tremendously, and thus, when she left me her recipes, I had been presented with the renovation of her recipes.
On the maternal side, my mom was born in Basel, Switzerland, and had immigrated in the 1920s as a young child to Vancouver, Canada. She met my dad when, she had gone to work in Manhattan as a German and French translator during the 1940s. They were married 66 years. Almost a Guiness Book of Records.
Furthermore, I am a young grandmom with 2 married daughters, one here in Europe and one who is bi-coastal between the St. Augustine coast in the U.S.A. and Nelson, New Zealand.
Additionally, I have 5 grandchildren under the age of five, a set of twin boys, the newcomer baby boy of 3 months ( born this past December 2011), and my other daughter with a 14 month old boy and the only little girl, aged 4 in the family.
My hobbies include Latin Root languages and Philology, the study of the origins of languages. Multi lingual from an early age, I studied Journalism and Latin Languages.
I am pleased to have found this gold mine, D.C. and have enjoyed my recent entry to the Community and hope that my threads provide assistance and innovation to the members.
Thanks,
Margaux Cintrano
