Experience

As the granddaughter of immigrant restaurant owners, Bernadette developed an interest in gastronomy at a young age, learning to cook everything from her family's Filipino and Chinese recipes to French classics. She also spent seven years in the wine industry helping clients purchase fine and rare wines to add to their collections.

After 18 years of living in San Francisco, Bernadette headed south to Los Angeles, where she continues to write about food and culture, while sometimes working as a product tester, food stylist/photographer, consultant for the wine industry, and Pilates instructor.
