I'm a food and culture writer and have worked on essays for The New Yorker, Vittles, The Guardian, ELLE, Kinfolk, The Baffler, Eater, Art Review, RA Magazine, and Tate etc. on topics that range from baking to the extinction of cheeses and the work of Wayne Thiebaud. I have also worked on radio, podcasts and live talks and events.
