After decades as a food and health journalist, editor, writer, video producer, and author, I created this space to share what I’ve learned and what still fascinates me. As the name suggests, Eating Between the Lines is about uncovering the nuance in how food is grown, produced, marketed, sold, and prepared. I like to dig deeper, beyond the headlines and into the heart of how we eat.

I spend my days researching and writing white papers, eBooks, and articles about food, health, and nutrition. It’s more than a job: it’s the kind of work that makes time disappear. What often starts as a curiosity about a food trend quickly turns into a deep dive into biochemistry, cultural tradition, or culinary science.

This site is my creative kitchen, where I write without deadlines or editorial mandates. Here, I explore the many dimensions of food: how it’s grown, how cultures celebrate it, how to shop and store it wisely, and how nutrition fuels our bodies. And of course, I’ll share the personal stories that shape my love of food, from my Greek immigrant roots and a childhood steeped in international politics, to life as a Pan Am flight attendant, Navy wife, mom, grandmother of four and daughter of a Michigan farmer. 

Welcome to the table. Let’s eat between the lines.
