Experience

I deliver smart, clean, lively prose that encourages readers without judgment, whether I'm working on features or content writing. My specialties: • Food writing & recipe development • Parenting & women's issues • Health, diet & nutrition. I may be writing a how-to for the perfect omelet for Weight Watchers magazine, a personal essay about raising a picky eater for The New York Times, or a fundraising auction catalog for the James Beard Foundation, but my work always weaves information into entertainment. Bonus: I've been writing for more than 20 years, and I've never missed a deadline. I live in Brooklyn with my omnivorous husband and our stubbornly non-nivorous son.

Skinny Margarita

This skinny margarita has plenty of fresh flavors with fewer calories. The lighter version of this classic cocktail skips the sugar and instead focuses on natural ingredients like lime and orange juice for its sweet taste. —Debbie Koenig, New York, New York
