Welcome

I’m a writer and editor with a focus on food, but I’m hungry for science, fiction, history, psychology, poetry, travel (armchair or otherwise), and anything fascinating.

Check out my work on Chowhound, Greatist, Mashed, Tasting Table, and CNET.

Gahd, I love this little dude. 😻

I also made a port-glazed grape tart with blue cheese in a parmesan cracker crust and tongue-blistering French onion soup dip. So at least 2021 eats ended on point.

This was the year I *finally* made the apricot, anise, and orange liqueur and (a very slightly tweaked version of) the dark chocolate ginger cake from The Christmas Chronicles, my favorite Nigel Slater book and a cherished winter reading ritual. One day I'll get to that beautiful phyllo cheesecake too...

So close to a white Christmas! ❄️

When you don't have human kids to spoil, you buy the dog an advent calendar. (Pretty sure we would have done it anyway.)

Been on a big sauteed cucumber kick lately. Obviously I always douse them with chili crisp, which has the bonus of looking extra festive right now!

Baked my last batch of Christmas cookies yesterday (chewy pistachio!) and we'll be lucky if they last until the 25th... 🎄

Research books for my next story have started piling up... 📚🤓

Desserts on parade (my pie crust remains wonky as ever but turned out deliciously flaky and crisp, which is what's really important).
