About Me

Currently a freelance writer, I previously served three years as food editor for The Morning Sun in Mt. Pleasant, which kindled my interest in cooking. I also wrote profiles of projects and companies for a construction industry publication. I have a frightening number of cookbooks, watch too many Food Network and FitTV cooking shows, and tend to tweak nearly every recipe I attempt to make.

Reasons Detroit Food Rocks

I slightly twisted a title from an article in Canada's version of the Reader's Digest called 9 Surprising Reasons Why Detroit Rocks for this blog post. 


Number 5 in the article includes Detroit Eastern Market, a place where my dad always got steaks for Detroit Western International High School's staff picnic, which he organized for many years. He felt they were the best steaks ever. (We always got the leftover steak because he coordinated the picnic, and I agree with his assessment.) Another site the article recommended is vegan- and vegetarian-friendly Russell Street Deli, which I want to try.

One reason Detroit area food rocks is that many of the supermarkets here, supermarkets including Whole Foods MarketTrader Joe's, Kroger's and locally-owned Hiller's Markets, make it super easy to find healthy food. Hiller's also has a gluten-free foods section and a shelf tag system making it easy to choose Michigan products.


That's just the tip of the iceberg as far as Detroit area food is concerned. Check this blog for more great places in 2011.
