The Gilded Fork, LLC is a new media company celebrating the sensual pleasures of food and wine. At present, our company comprises an online magazine, The Gilded Fork, the Culinary Podcast Network -- the world's first all-food podcast channel, and our Gilded Fork online boutique.

We are now branching into offline events including cooking classes and tasting dinners, and my podcast, Food Philosophy, has just become part of the PodShow family.

This project started with me, a laptop and a tray table, and within six months our web site was nominated for a World Food Media award along with the BBC and Jacques Pepin, and I appeared in a national television ad campaign for Go Daddy.

Now I have a wonderful business partner, Mark Tafoya, a gaggle of contributors and kitchen elves, and we are having the time of our lives!

I've been an entrepreneur all of my life, and there is nothing that matches the exhilaration of bringing a vision to fruition. Ours is nothing less than to change the face of food media.

I'd love to hear from those of you who are blazing your own trails!
