Bring my Book to Life

I’m ready to tell my story, right from the very start. The successes, the mistakes, the lessons learned, an honest look at what life in our industry is really like & of course some of your most loved recipes :)

With The Warren now in hibernation, it feels like the right time to pause and put it all down on paper. This book is about the people, the producers, and the community that made The Warren what it was. By backing this project, you’ll be part of sharing that story, keeping it alive, and helping me shape the next chapter.
