Let's cook together.

I’m a cookbook collaborator and co-writer who has been a part of 20 (!) cookbooks, with more in the works.

Some of my clients have included:

I’ve been told I give Big Sister Energy (this tracks, I am a big sister), and I’m as organized as I am prone to daydreaming together on the creative stuff. And believe it or not, making cookbooks can take a toll on your physical body and your mental health, so over the years I’ve also learned how to make rest and care a part of the conversation I have with my clients. Also, we will be laughing.

Recipes that are evidence of real love - love of ingredients, of a person, of people, of the seasons, of memory, of anything - are the recipes I live for. And when there’s a story behind the recipe, that’s where I most like to hang out. I’m most drawn to food stories with a personal or family element, especially when food you/we cook becomes a symbol for the people and places we love and miss the most.

If you're interested in working together, fill out the form on my contact page with your thoughts and I'll be back in touch soon! I look forward to hearing from you.
