The daughter of a law professor and a potter, Leslie Karst waited tables and sang in a new wave rock band before deciding she was ready for a “real” job and ending up at Stanford Law School. It was during her career as a research and appellate attorney in Santa Cruz, California, that she rediscovered her youthful passion for food and cooking, at which point she once again returned to school—this time to earn a degree in culinary arts. Now retired from the law, Leslie spends her days penning the Sally Solari culinary mystery series, as well as cooking, gardening, cycling, and singing alto in her local community chorus. She and her wife and their Jack Russell mix split their time between Santa Cruz and Hilo, Hawai’i, and her memoir Justice is Served has just been released. https://amzn.to/3JzdAYOLeslie’s book rec: The Thursday Murder Club, Richard Osman https://amzn.to/3HQY0qaHow Do You Write Podcast: Explore the processes of How Do You Write Podcast: Explore the processes of working wr
