about

AboutMy 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 reassure myself that the planet is self-destructing anyway (this, for me, counts as reassuring). So I go back to roaming, eating, writing, 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 and the restaurant editor at Time Out New York, and this past spring I l decided to leave my job as food editor at O, The Oprah Magazine, to be a freelance food and travel writer.

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.
