Biography
As a freelance writer and editor, I've covered everything from food, cocktails, and travel to shopping, fashion, and business topics for digital publications and tech and media brands. Recent assignments include food trend and e-commerce stories for Martha Stewart Living, travel stories for TourRadar's Days to Come magazine, and blog posts for American Express Business Class Trends and Insights. For six months in 2022, I was a Senior Editor for Staffing.com at Toptal Publications, and in 2021, I held a contract role as a part-time content lead for MediaVision, a London-based digital marketing agency. I spent over seven years at Google as a Senior Content Strategist where I helmed the creative and strategic development of high-impact editorial content for complex projects, including Neighborhoods, a Hotels product that helps travelers discover the best areas to explore, and Google Maps Travel lists, a Travel product that guides users towards unique attractions and stores (from boutiques to souks) in cities worldwide. While at Google, I was also a Zagat/Google Dining Blog Editor, overseeing local editors in key markets, writing trend stories, organizing the tentpole calendar, and compiling a weekly newsletter featuring restaurant and dining stories. As a side project, I contributed to Google Doodles. My past positions include Senior Editor at Zagat Survey, Managing Editor at Apparel Insiders, and Daily News Writer at MTV News. I’ve written articles, profiles, and copy for magazines, digital publications, and websites including Edible Brooklyn, Fairmont Hotels Magazine, Footwear News, The New York Times, This Old House, Rodale’s Organic Life, Vintage Magazine, and The Washington Post, plus branded content (advertorials) for The New Yorker and The New York Times Marketing Services.

For starters, you could devour this exotic fruit by the handful (sans the rough shell)—but don't stop there. As with other tropical treats, from cherimoya to mangosteen, a wide world of culinary possibilities opens up once you dig deeper. We connected with produce experts to learn more about rambutan and its myriad sweet and savory applications.

When comparing ghee vs. butter, are there times when one product rules over the other? Both are endlessly versatile and delicious—and there's probably room in your repertoire for both of them. We connected with a chef and a nutritionist and picked up some pointers about when to use each, including how to make ghee at home.

The tea bag has been ubiquitous since the 1950s, but as new generations, notably Gen Z and millennials, acquire the habit, they are trading traditional tea bags for loose-leaf teas, artisanal blends, and fresh flavors. Learning how to brew tea the right way can elevate every cup. We spoke to tea experts and picked up pointers for enhancing the sipping ritual. Peter F.
