Brooklyn
writer/community organizer

I live in Brooklyn, New York with my husband Lane Twitchell and our son Jasper (almost six years old). I've been blogging for a few years, first about what I had cooked for dinner the night before as well as my various adventures as a stay-at-home mom. Home cooking is still at the heart of my current blog but I'm also interested in our food system: how food is grown, who grows it, how it gets to us, and what's at stake. In real life I am currently building the online community for the Brooklyn Food Coalition and also trying to find my voice and my niche as a freelance foodwriter.
