Who is the ENTHUSIASTIC GOURMET?

  Eating herring in Holland           Discussing dim sum in Chinatown 


Susan Rosenbaum, a/k/a The Enthusiastic Gourmet, is an explorer and a knowledge-seeker
by nature.  And when it comes to food, there is no stopping her.  Whether it's scrambling over
the rocky coast of the Atlantic Ocean in Portugal to hunt for sea urchin...or carrying a durian,
the "king of all fruits" and the vilest smelling, onto a crowded plane...or rolling gozleme with the
locals in Turkey, Susan is continuously learning and sharing her love of food with others.

Susan's interest in food began at the young age of 2, when she ate her first escargot (and liked it)!
She then mastered chopsticks at 3, which led to a whole new world of enticing cuisines.  Growing up
in Louisiana, Susan ate well and learned the importance of food as a bond between family and friends.

After a successful career at Federated Department stores, including managing Bloomingdale's store
operations and The Cellar at Macy's South, Susan received her Culinary Certificate at the French Culinary
Institute in NYC.  She also studied Pastry Arts, Chinese cooking technique, and food writing at the New School
and the Institute of Culinary Education in New York.  Susan received her certificate in Food Protection from the
New York City Department of Health.

The Enthusiastic Gourmet is a licensed NYC tour guide and member of NYC&Co.

I look forward to introducing you to the flavors of NYC!
