ABOUT VIV

Viv has been a writing and literature teacher since 2004, helping students open their eyes to writing insights (startling them with the fact that verbs are mightier than adjectives) and habits ("Engage your ear; read what you write, aloud").

Recently, fresh out of baking school, she’s been chasing perfection in her choux and soufflés. She’s also unveiled Sucker for Butter, a blog that celebrates baking and the beautiful life.
