For producers and editors
What I'm good for.
- Live cooking demos — weeknight food, holidays, Eastern European and Jewish cooking done properly.
- Technique segments. I teach method over recipes, which films better than it sounds.
- The food industry from the inside — catering, private cheffing, and what actually happens behind the curtain.
- Midlife and women's health from a chef's angle: perimenopause, hormones, protein, ADHD. Named plainly.
- Immigrant story, ADHD at forty-two, building a business from the front seat of a car.
