Welcome. My name is Tate Basildon and writing is one of my greatest passions.

I am an honor graduate of The Culinary Institute of America and work as a private chef.

I am currently working on a memoir of my tumultuous five year journey as a private chef* for mega-wealthy families, giving a brief glimpse into the lifestyle, while unknowingly battling a silent and potentially fatal disease.

My blog features stories of my life as well as fiction and some opinion pieces.

I hope you enjoy your time here and please feel free to subscribe for future postings and news about publications of articles, stories and books.
