WELCOME
I’m a writer with a taste for good food and a passion for sustainable food systems. In short, I like to eat right, and write about all the things that make food good — and explore the myriad ways in which we grow, source, purvey, prepare, and consume the things that nurture us.
Bon appétit and bonne lecture (happy reading)!
