Living the foodie dream

Patricia Wells is living a food lover?s dream, writing cookbooks and running her own French cooking school. But it?s a dream the Milwaukee native never imagined.

As a child, she aspired to be a journalist. A graduate of Pius XI High School, she worked as a Milwaukee Journal “copy girl” and studied journalism at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison were followed by stints at The Washington Post and The New York Times.
