"I write. I fish. I dig earth, forage, raise plants, live for food and kill wild animals. I’ll drink fancy Scotch, craft beer, a fine Barolo or a Bud, depending on my mood or who’s offering. I am a former restaurant cook, I’ve caught fish and dug clams for a living and, after 19 years as a political reporter for newspapers ranging from New Yorkto Virginia, to Wisconsin, Minnesota, and California, I now pay the bills writing about food, fishing, foraging, and hunting. I’ve written four cookbooks, and have more on the way.
As a food writer, my work has been published in Food & Wine, Petersen’s Hunting, Garden & Gun, Organic Gardening, The Art of Eating, Field and Stream, and several other publications."
