Professional/Personal Overview
An enthusiastic and passionate writer, cook and diner, I've written and edited everything from specialty food copy and a cookbook for Williams Sonoma, to restaurant reviews for Citysearch and SF Station to book reviews for Gastronomica. I have written culinary travel pieces for Epicurious and Frommer's and frequently contribute to the beverage industry trade publication Cheers. In addition to writing, I develop recipes for both editorial outlets and corporate clients.
