About me

I'm based in San Francisco where I mostly write about food, California and life -- but mostly food. I contribute regularly to NPR online, and have written for the San Francisco Chronicle's Home and Garden section, New York Times, Washington Post, chow.com and Backpacker magazine, among other publications.

Before moving to the Bay Area I lived in Washington, DC, where I worked for the Reuters Washington bureau, freelanced for local publications and hosted countless dinner parties.

I write about my culinary forays on my food blog; when I'm not hard at work perfecting copy for my day job, I'm usually in the kitchen, out for a run, exploring my native state or have my head in a book.

This website contains a selection of my journalism from the last few years. Please contact me me for more information about my work.
