About Me

I’m a writer, recipe developer and food stylist based in New York City. 

I currently write articles and other SEO-driven content for Stop & Shop/Giant and Hannaford grocery stores. I’ve covered topics ranging from holiday entertaining to the tastiest ways to use jicama to packing a better school lunch. Other writing clients include: Static Media, Beyond Words, Godiva and Hain Celestial Organics.

As a freelance recipe developer, I’ve co-created recipes for Stop & Shop/Giant, PureDark (Mars), Redbook, Men’s Health and GladWare. I’ve also tested recipes for multiple cookbooks, including The Num Pang Cookbook, Cook Yourself Sexy, and the NY Times’ bestselling The Blood Sugar Solution: 10-Day Detox Diet.

As a food stylist, my work includes television, advertising, editorial, packaging and cookbooks. Highlights include: The Barefoot Contessa TV series, the James Beard Award-nominated special, “Barefoot in Washington,” and digital advertising for Coca-Cola, Tyson and Samsung.

I’m a former Senate speechwriter and press secretary who followed my heart and stomach to The French Culinary Institute in Manhattan. There, I studied food styling after graduating with a Grand Diploma in Classic Culinary Arts. I live with my husband, two sons and two cats in Kew Gardens, Queens.
