A Montreal native now based in New York, I write about the good things in life: food, wine, spirits, travel.

A former travel editor at Sir Richard Branson's Virgin.net in London, I’ve contributed travel, food, drinks, culture and other lifestyle articles to such titles as Saveur, The Atlantic Monthly Food Channel, The Washington Post, The Globe and Mail, The Guardian, Allure, Best Life and Imbibe Magazine. In 2009, I appeared on the Travel Channel program Confessions of a Travel Writer and, this year, published Knack Calorie Counter Cookbook: A Step-by-Step Guide to a Delicious, Calorie Conscious Diet. You can read me daily on the Village Voice’s food and drink blog, Fork in the Road.
