With her lifelong love of Japan, its people, and its culture, Celeste Heiter believes that she may have been Japanese in a previous incarnation. In this lifetime however, Celeste was born in Mobile, Alabama, where she earned a Bachelor's degree in Art and English from the University of South Alabama. Inspired by a lifelong dream to visit the Great Buddha at Kamakura, she moved to Tokyo in 1988, where she spent two years teaching English conversation. Celeste now makes her home in California's beautiful Napa Valley, with the most treasured souvenir of her life in Japan: her son Will, who was born during her stay in Tokyo. Her books are inspired by the time she spent in Japan, and by her culinary creativity as a cookbook author, food writer, and photographer. Celeste is the creator of the LoveBites cookbook series for Kindle Fire. Each LoveBites cookbook is a collection of recipes to create a romantic dinner for two, with color photos of each dish, plus a shopping list, wine selections, movie recommendations, suggestions for setting the mood, and tips for culinary success. LoveBites are published as Kindle Books, which are available for purchase on Amazon.com. Celeste is also the author of ten books published by ThingsAsian Press, and spent eight years posting her recipes, food photographs, and film reviews on ChopstickCinema.com, an Asian food and film blog hosted by ThingsAsian.com.
