Ongoing Projects

My column, Kids in the Kitchen, is available for syndication. Currently it is published bi-weekly by the Spokesman-Review but I would prefer it to be weekly. Contact me to discuss syndication possibilities.

I have travel and culinary tourism content readily available on the Palouse region of Idaho and Washington (Pullman, Moscow, and surrounding), the Okanagan region of Washington and British Columbia, Missoula Montana, Southeast Alaska, Ireland, Northern Ireland, and various parts of France.

With a little notice I can provide profiles of and interviews with people such as French food authority Anne Willan, State of Alaska poet laureate John Straley, anthropologist and author Richard Nelson, extreme endurance athletes Steve and Rocky Reifenstuhl, and any number of organic farmers, artisan cheesemakers, cookbook authors, and respected food historians such as Ken Albala and Kyri Claflin.

Regular food features and Kids in the Kitchen column for Spokane Spokesman-Review. Kids in the Kitchen available for syndication.
