I’m a food writer and chocolate enthusiast, and my book Bean-to-Bar Chocolate: America’s Craft Revolution is coming out in September 2017. My blog Chocolate Noise was a 2016 Saveur Blog Awards finalist, and my work has been published in The New York Times, Slate, Zagat, Food & Wine, and Modern Farmer, among other places. I offer private chocolate tasting classes, host Underground Chocolate Salons at shops across the country, and am a judge at chocolate competitions, including the International Chocolate Awards. Currently based in Brooklyn, I’ve written extensively about the food scenes in both New York City and Austin, Texas.
