In the second grade I wrote about singing fruit and haunted houses and dreamed of becoming a professional gymnast. When I was 17 an over-consumption of Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath led to “Toyota Purgatory,” a poem about arguing with dad on the drive to school (teenage suburban ennui!). At 20 I was writing about nightclubs in Paris, then I followed love to Australia where for four years my home office overlooked the ocean.
Now I live Montreal, spend a lot of my time in New York and write mostly about travel and food. A contributing editor with enRoute magazine, I’ve been published in the New York Times’ T Magazine, the Globe and Mail, London’s Guardian newspaper online, GOOD magazine, the Sydney Morning Herald, Australian Gourmet Traveller, the Montreal Mirror, Time Out Paris and other places. I also pen a blog about canning and preserving called Consider the Pantry.
