It’s nice to e-meet you. After decades of being a food and health journalist, editor, writer, video producer, and author, I wanted a place to share what I’ve learned. As the name of this website implies, I like to get in between the lines and look at the nuances of how and where food is grown, manufactured, sold, marketed, and prepared.
If there were an acronym for Food Geek (FG), it would be after my name. I spend my professional time researching and writing white papers, eBooks, and articles about health, food, and cooking. The saying that you’ve found the ideal career when you lose track of time is true for me. My work often begins with food trends and takes me down the deep rabbit hole of food at the cellular level.
Even so, I seldom get to write untethered to a strict content strategy or editor’s wishes. Here, I’ll freely explore how food is grown, how different cultures prepare it, how to buy and store it, and why culinary nutrition is critical to our bodies. Then there is the fun stuff like food experiences as the granddaughter of Greek immigrants, daughter of parents with an intriguing international and political past, my father as a third-generation Michigan farmer, my first job as a Pan Am flight attendant, and adventures as a Navy wife, mom, and grandmother of four.
