Greg Henry began to write the food blog Sippity Sup– Serious Fun Food as a break from a career as an entertainment industry photographer, and was surprised by its hold on him. He’s led cooking demonstrations in Panama and Costa Rica and has journeyed as far afield as Norway, Alaska and Peru to promote culinary travel. He’s been featured in Food & Wine magazine, the Los Angeles Times, the Today show online, the Huffington Post, and Saveur magazine’s “Best of the Web.” Greg also co-hosts “The Table Set” (downloadable on iTunes or at Homefries​.com), named by LA Weekly as one of five favorite podcasts for food lovers. Greg is also the author of two cookbooks “Savory Pies” and “Savory Cocktails”, both available from Ulysses Press. See the books tab on this blog for more information.

Helen Melville writes about wine for Sippity SupHelen Lisa Melville has a BA in Theater Arts and has dabbled in many branches of the entertainment industry. She loves ADR, you may have heard her screaming in Beowulf or announcing flights in The Holiday. Helen is currently a certified and licensed massage therapist who loves to drink wine with friends. Though her client list might qualify for its own EGOT, she is notorious for not recognizing celebrities. She hadn’t a clue she was massaging one of the rock stars of the Rhone Valley, until Michel Chapoutier casually mentioned he made wines for a living. Thank goodness she can usually recognize great wine! Her olfactory awareness is thanks to the extensive range of essential oils she works with, and her palate has developed over decades of tasting. Helen is a graduate of Ian Blackburn’s LAW (Learn About Wine) School.
