My life, in short: I roam around. I eat all kinds of food. I write about them. I worry that I’m not doing enough to save the planet. Then I go back to roaming, eating, writing (and  worrying).
On Salmaland.com, I’ll tell you where I’ve eaten and where you should (or sometimes shouldn’t) eat; where you should travel; and where you should (or sometimes shouldn’t) shell out a little bit of cash.
A brief history: I spent years as the travel editor at Food & Wine, the restaurant editor at Time Out New York, and the food editor at O, The Oprah Magazine. Starting in August 2010, I’ll be spending a year in Beirut working on a book for Broadway Books/Random House about my return to Lebanon to search for home. It’ll be filled with food memories, recipes, and no doubt some crazy culinary expeditions. Working title is Jasmine and Fire. Drop me a line if you’re headed to Beirut in the next year!
Under Clips, you’ll find examples of magazine stories I’ve written, and information on how to reach me if you need help with one of the other things I do besides eat, write, worry, et al.—namely: rewrite, copyedit, and generally comment on editorial work (see Editorial Help).
Thanks for visiting.
