Susan Nye

Writer, cook and more … a corporate dropout, I left a twenty-year career in international sales and marketing for the fun, flexibility and fear of self-employment. Now, I write for magazines and newspapers throughout New England and blog at Susan Nye – Around the Table, Susan Nye’s Other Blog and NH Writers’ Network.

I am passionate about cooking and love bringing family and friends together around my table. I first learned about cooking from my Grandmother Nye, an award winning New England cook ($5 prize for her fish chowder from the now defunct Boston Post newspaper!) Every summer, I played sous chef for Nana. She baked blueberry pies and I made jam tarts from the pie crust scraps.

For almost two decades, I lived a stone’s throw from the French border in Switzerland. With my day job as a sales and marketing executive, I traveled the world and brought home new and different recipes and entertainment ideas. From those simple jam tarts I have built up an eclectic array of dishes fusing the tastes of New England, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia.

I am delighted to be back in New Hampshire. I stay busy living the good life. When I am not writing or cooking, you can find me in my garden, walking around Pleasant Lake or kayaking. In the winter I am out on my skis.

In my spare time, I volunteer for a number of worthy organizations. I am one of the early members of New Hampshire Women’s Leadership Summit.New Hampshire Women’s Leadership Summit’s leadership committee. I have been happy to mentor students at my alma mater, Babson College. I enjoy working with other entrepreneurs and served on the board and as Vice Chair and Chair of New Hampshire Women’s Business Center, a terrific organization which supports business owners with education, coaching and networking programs. Closer to home, I’ve started Eat Well – Do Good. I host a monthly dinner party to raise money to support the Alzheimer's Association. Want to see me in action? I make regular appearances on ABC affiliate WMUR's Cook's Corner . You can watch me make Asparagus Risotto, Strawberries and Cream and much, much more! I'd love to get to know you. You can find me in print, on television and live! Here is my publications and events calendar.

I look forward to sharing my stories, my kitchen and my table with you.
