About Me

The Whiner

Food became a passion for me about 10 years ago… when I moved to Boston and had exposure to all different types of cuisine I had never tried. Aside from the standard Chinese, Indian, Thai and Mexican… my palate was an ethnic virgin. I thrived on trying all different types of cuisine and became obsessed with the restaurant scene. Then I got married and had a baby… and everything changed!

A few years after my son was born, I decided it was high time I started focusing on my food obsession again and came up with the idea for this blog. I originally thought I would write about “Date Night Worthy”, “Kid Friendly” and “Girl’s Night Out” restaurant picks, but the blog evolved into more… a lot more.

Now I like to write about anything and everything food. When I’m not working, blogging or eating, I’m cooking, gardening, entertaining, chasing my 4 year old, downloading iTunes, reading or doing random and food related research!

My newest hobby is food photography. I am still using just a little digital camera, but it takes great close-up shots… which are my preference. So the focus of my blog as of late has been on recipes, ingredients, food news, anything and everything related to Boston and sustainable living. Of course you will find the pop-culture and political rants and raves thrown in there as well… but it IS my blog, isn’t it?

Lastly, I’m also available for freelance marketing and food writing… So contact me if you have any gigs!

My rates are inexpensive while the new site builds up page rankings and views (approx $10 CPM)… so get in while the getting is good! I previously got about 7,000 page views per 30 days, but hope this will significantly increase with the new platform and the SEO-friendly coding we have applied to the backend.
