I came to the food writing and recipe development world after nearly ten years on the line of professional kitchens, including the early years of NYC's Union Square Cafe. In addition to restaurant work, I have catered events and taught cooking classes.

Now I freelance about food and the business of food. You might find be blogging for a food company, for my own site (Babette’s Feast), writing articles for business journals about the business of food and restaurants or for websites about the latest trends in the kitchen.

I served as food editor for Florida Table, a regional food magazine in southeast Florida for almost all of its issues (the publication succumbed to the tough economic times). I also served as “Dining Expert” for VISITFLORIDA.com, blogging, writing and hosting videos about food finds in Florida.

These days, I test and develop recipes and round out my writing with travel and wine stories. Or, as I like to say, I suffer for my craft.
