I love food. I love writing. I love writing about food. 

If you’re looking to hire a food-loving writer who loves writing about food, then let’s chat. I’m always on the lookout for opportunities that allow me to share my passion for all things food. 

I also love collaboration. If you like me and I like you(r product), let’s talk about creating a sponsored post or two.

Other Contributions

I’ve also written over 300 “How To” style food articles as a contractor through Demand Media Studios. The articles were then distributed to sites like eHow.com. Apparently they have sold some of these articles to other sites since I worked for them because I’m finding pieces I’ve written on random sites I’ve never heard of (such is the life of contract writing!). Trying to find them all now is like trying to find that toothpick in every issue of Taste of Home, but here’s a few I’ve been able to track down:

List of Gourmet Mushrooms

Difference Between Red and White Potatoes

Substitute for Ancho Chili Powder

How to Use Daikon as a Substitute for Mashed Potatoes

How to Saute Mushrooms and Onions

 

Food Photography

I’m an amateur photographer who’s still learning/experimenting/trying to define my style. But these sites found at least a few of my photos appetizing enough to publish. (Yay!)
