I help great people 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 won three: one with Sam Kass, another with Gregory Gourdet, and most recently one with Melissa King!

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.
