Vitals
My name is Caleb Cullen; I live in Toronto with my husband. I am passionate about food prepared simply, from fresh, local products in a way which preserves their flavor and wholesomeness. Wine, handmade foodstuffs of any kind in fact, are of particular interest as well. Back before November, 2001, I worked in server infrastructure in the dot-com sector, in Santa Clara, California, and Seattle, Washington.
