Kudos to a woman who has fashioned a career based upon the love of food!

Thank you, Rosa Jackson, food critic, cookbook author and Paris food authority extraodinaire, for your willingness to share your knowledge with us, people who are passionate about what we eat.

Rosa's book, Gourmet Paris, won the Gourmand World Cookbook Award for best food guide book in 2007. Now do you trust her?

You can get to know Rosa by visiting her website, Edible Paris. Armed with information about your personal tastes, Rosa will design a self-guided food tour for you, or provide you with a food guru who can take you from cheese cellar to oil tasting and then on to visits with artisanal producers.

Once you have eaten your way through Paris, make a reservation to join her market tour and cooking class, in Nice, where she lives. And when you have a comment to make about all of this goodness, Rosa is blogging now.
