Articles by Colleen Fraser
Colleen Fraser recently completed her bachelor degree in Near Eastern Archaeology and English, only to find herself a year later as a part-time patisserie student at Le Cordon Bleu and a part-time artisan bread baker in Canada’s Capital city. Happily she has found the perfect means for combining her interests and is now also a part-time online urban foodie writer. She can be found spending her spare time hunting Ottawa for obscure culinary ingredients or preaching to her friends about drinking good beer. Colleen has been writing for The Urban Grocer since April 2010.
