LindaK

Linda Kowalcky has worked in government, politics, and academia, and currently lives in Boston with a job involving all three. Her serious interest in cooking began as a procrastination technique while working on her Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University. While teaching, she took advantage of her academic schedule to spend summers cooking and eating in France, where she took classes and did internships at the Hotel Ritz, Paris and in Strasbourg. These days, Linda cooks mainly for fun, is active in urban community gardening, lectures frequently on local goverment, campus planning, and town-gown politics, and tries to find time for her research in early American political history.
