Drawing on my decade of personal chef experience, I can offer you a one-of-a-kind skillset as an editor for food writing of all types: cookbooks, recipes, restaurant menus, articles, blog posts, and more.
Over the years, I’ve amassed a bank of over 1,000 dishes, testing, modifying, and refining recipes for every type of cuisine and diet. If you’re looking for someone who understands the craft of writing and the complex nature of cooking, I’m here to help you translate your creativity in the kitchen into a written work of art.
How I Edit Are the ingredients in your recipe easy to find at a grocery store? Does each one appear in your instructions (or do the instructions mention an ingredient you forgot to list)? Are the measurements consistent, realistic and accurate? What about the serving sizes? Does your audience know the difference between bake and broil? These are just a few of the questions I may check during the editing process. Consistency, clarity and accuracy will always be priorities, but I am committed to preserving your unique voice, style, and creative twists.

Favorite type of cuisine Korean food! I lived in South Korea from 2012–2013 and had the chance to indulge my adventurous eating spirit almost every day. I appreciate the balanced and harmonious relationship with food I found there.
