About me

I have a long-time love of classic movies, film noir, and yes, even musicals. I began watching movies as a grade-schooler with my mother. She loved the musicals and dramas. My dad liked the comedies and mystery/intrigue movies. So, this began my love for movie classics. I also like recipes of the past and re-creating them for today. I decided to combine these two favourite things and create Flicks & Forks. More personally, I live in London, Ontario, Canada with my husband who is a writer with a love of traditional hot rod culture. He also writes on Substack and if you have an interest in hot rods, custom cars, or drag racing, check out his writing at
