i write about people who make food
because everybody eats and french fries are delicious.
I've written hundreds of print and digital stories for major food publications, with a focus on telling stories about the people behind food. I specialize in interview, profile, and niche cooking stories. Here are a few favorites from regular clients, links to my author pages, and a few other odd favorites, too. I am always open to working with new publishing clients. Drop a line!
