She has translated and adapted for the home kitchen the recipes of several Michelin-starred chefs, as well as a gastronomic guide book, La Grande Bible de la France. Her involvement in The Wine Portfolio, a wine importing business founded by her husband, Tim Garland, affords further opportunity for travel and the discovery of food and wines from other countries.
