Ep. 161 Steve Hoffman: From Preparing Taxes in the Midwest to Writing in the South of France
Steve Hoffman is tax preparer turned food writer and author. His love for writing and the French language led him to take a risk and move his family from Minnesota to a small southern town in France. He started journaling about his experiences and connections with French food, wine and people. Steve found a new version of himself and is rewriting his middle-aged story.
Steve’s articles have been published in Food & Wine, The Washington Post and Artful Living magazine. His writing has won multiple awards, including a James Beard M.F.K. Fisher Distinguished Writing Award. Steve recently wrote a memoir, A Season For That: Lost and Found in the Other Southern France, where he highlights the food and wine in France, the people he met and his journey to finding himself.
In this episode of Flip Your Script with Kristi Piehl, Steve talks about how his move to France transformed his perspective and the importance of personal growth and self-discovery.
