From website content, consumer publications, and product catalogues to TV scripts, restaurant reviews, and a cookbook, Elizabeth’s food writing experience and expertise are as broad and deep as her passion.
Whole Foods Markets, Dean & Deluca, the Television Food Network, Lifetime Television, The Wine Spectator and New York Magazine, are among the heavy hitters who rely on Elizabeth’s background and style to bring
a breath of fresh air to a saturated market.
While Elizabeth has written about everything from faucets to fine art during an advertising and marketing career spanning more than two decades, her first love has always been the world of food.
And it shows. In her ongoing involvement with international culinary organizations, in her compulsive quest to learn more, in the results she brings to her clients and in the pride she takes in being known as a “foodie’s foodie”.
