My work has appeared in Food and Wine, Real Simple, Serious Eats, Southern Living, and Simply Recipes, among others.

I grew up in Virginia and have lived all over, from Corrientes, Argentina to NYC, San Francisco, and Oxford, Mississippi, where I worked as a line cook and studied southern Appalachian foodways. I wrote my masters thesis, “The Wild Asleep,” about the environmental history and significance of ramps or wild leeks.

Weekday Warriors, my newsletter on food and culture, focuses on inspiration for mealmaking through the week. I occasionally feature interviews with chefs, artists, and friends who inspire me and keep my heart & soul well fed.
