Lina Broydo immigrated from Russia, then the Soviet Union, to Israel where she was educated and got married. After working at the University in Birmingham, England she and her husband immigrated to the United States. She lives in Los Altos Hills, CA and writes about travel, art, style, entertainment, and sports. She hardly cooks or bakes, not the best of "balabostas" her beloved beautiful Mom, Dina, was hoping for. Therefore, she makes reservations and enjoys dining out.
