Journalism
I’m a freelance journalist currently covering home, aesthetics, culture and health for The New York Times, The Washington Post, Medscape and AARP. In my 25-year career, I have also contributed to Prevention, Health, SELF, GH, Men’s Health, Parents, and many more.
My sweet spot is exploring complex interdisciplinary ideas (ideally with a sensory component), making them engaging and accessible to a wide audience.
To bring my stories to life, I often source images (sometimes my own photographs).
Books
My six cookbooks include The New Milks (Simon & Schuster), Mug Meals, Meatless All Day, Year-Round Slow Cooker, Williams-Sonoma New Flavors for Salads, and Tasting Club.
Education
I earned my BA in Anthropology/English Literature from Columbia College, Columbia University and a professional Culinary Arts degree from The Institute of Culinary Education. I’ve also studied painting and graphic design.
