If you, like me, are desperate for the new season of Mad Men to begin (March? Seriously?), possibly my review of the Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook in the new issue of Bookforum will help appease you.

More on the picky eating front! Here’s a piece I wrote for Babble.com about begging my son to eat French Fries. Yes, that’s what I said.

If reading EFB didn’t give you enough ideas about how to survive living with a picky eater, I’ve got a post up on the Food Network’s blog, FN Dish. This is the serious list, soon to be followed by a post containing the list to read when what you really want is a way to laugh at the situation (ie, what I really need practically every night at dinner.)

WHO I AM
(for more, visit “About”)
I’ve written two books: Girl Sleuth: Nancy Drew and the Women Who Created Her and Eating for Beginners: An Education in the Pleasures of Food from Chefs, Farmers, and One Picky Kid. For more on those, look in in the “Books” section of this site or click the covers to the right. I’ve also written for many magazines and newspapers, ranging from the New York Times Magazine and Book Review to Vogue, Slate, The LA Times, and Bookforum, where I currently write a column about food books. Check out “Publications” for some of that work. I’ve published poetry in The New Yorker, the Paris Review and other places; a few poems are available on the “Publications” page as well.
At the moment, I’m deep into Ralph Waldo Emerson, about whose essay “Self-Reliance” I’m writing my next book. See “Emerson Project” for more on that.
I edit and write many other things as well, including book manuscripts, newsletters, and communications and development materials for schools, universities, and non-profit foundations. For more information on what I’ve done and do, please see “Hire.”
