About

I help great chefs write cookbooks. Sometimes I write articles about food and travel for publications like The New Yorker, The New York Times, Bon Appétit, and Saveur magazine. It's fun!

I’ve co-authored several New York Times best-sellers. I was nominated for a Nobel Prize (kind of) and some James Beard Awards (including for my Taste column). I even won two: one with Sam Kass and another with Gregory Gourdet!

The editors of The Norton Reader selected my Gourmet magazine essay on cooking with one arm for their anthology of nonfiction, which includes writing from Nora Ephron, Barack Obama, and Jesus.
