Food Writing

Do you need a story about rainbow chard, cooking great food on a budget, the evolution of the current farm-to-table movement, or the latest detox diet? Look no further, I'm just the girl to get the job done.  I'm also available for ghost-writing or team writing assignments.  

Recipe Testing & Development

Are you a cookbook editor? A writer who just landed your first big book deal but need help converting your "pinches" to teaspoons? Perhaps you are a chef who has built up such a following that it's time to put your restaurant classics into print.  If so, let's talk.  

Media Events
Need someone articulate, personable, and knowledgeable about food to represent your company, sell your brand, or talk a little chef talk on the air.  Check out the slide show below of one of my more popular cooking classes.
