Work as a writer and editor has taken me from Chicago to Buenos Aires to Tokyo to Montreal. Along the way, I've worked for two major newspapers and an heirloom apple orchard.

• As a writer, I've covered gnocchi for the Washington Post and sandwiches for the Chicago Tribune. 

• As an editor, I've worked on breaking news and long-form features.

• My blog led to a book: willitwaffle.com. What's next? Another cookbook in 2017.
