Susan Nye

I am passionate about cooking and love bringing family and friends together around my table. I enjoy time honored traditions and menus and delight in experimenting with new recipes and techniques.

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.

In the 1980's I moved to Switzerland and lived a stones throw from the French border.
With my day job as a sales and marketing executive, I traveled around 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.

After traveling around the world, 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, cross country and downhill.

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 enjoy working with other entrepreneurs and I am honored to serve on the board of the The Women’s Business Center, a terrific organization which supports business owners with education, coaching and networking programs. Working with the WBC has afforded me the opportunity to volunteer and work on the New Hampshire Women’s Leadership Summit at Southern New Hampshire University. I have also been happy to mentor students at my alma mater, Babson College. Closer to home you can find me volunteering at New London's Community Garden behind Tracy Library and writing and cooking for the The Ausbon Sargent Land Preservation Trust .I’m starting a new project in January 2010, Eat Well – Do Good . I will be hosting a monthly dinner party to thank old friends, new friends and soon-to-be friends for supporting a charity or non-profit which is near and dear to my heart.

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