Food

• I'm a staff writer at Heavy Table, where I've written about local cookbooksraising foodies (or not), jelly on hamburgers, and more.

• For Minnesota Monthly, I've written an award-winning article on DIY gourmet tips, a paean to artisanal cornmeal, and an answer to the question, "What do professional taste testers do, anyway?"

• For City Pages, I've written about Russian grocery stores, savory pastries, how to keep a CSA share from getting the best of you, and more.

• I've also explored the ultimate tuna sandwich, the whys and wherefores of apple pie with cheese, fabulous citrus drinks, the definitional boundaries of a ploughman's lunch, and great noodle kugel.
