About

Good food.  Good stories. Good conversation.  These simple things bring pleasure to our daily lives.  Miami Dish hopes to offer all of these. 

Miami Dish is about food in South Florida.  It’s about all aspects of food  – the delectable, the seasonal, the fashionable, the environmental—but most importantly, the local.  Miami Dish will help you eat locally and seasonally by piquing your tastes with delicious food finds. 

I love fine dining, but I’m also curious about what’s happening with local farms, markets, and supper clubs. I’ll forage South Florida for food personalities, traditions, festivals, kitchens, and history.   So, what’s going on in your grandma’s kitchen?  Please join the conversation!

About Me

I’m a freelance food writer and multimedia/public radio producer in Miami.  My writing has also appeared in Edible South Florida and in HuffPost Miami.

I produce public radio news and features for WLRN Miami Herald News, including the award-winning “Under the Sun” series, on South Florida’s NPR station, WLRN 91.3 FM.  You can listen to some of my food radio stories at Sound Bite.

I grew up in Miami, the daughter of a Venezuelan who loves to bake pan de jamon and a Connecticut native who makes tomato sauce so good I could eat it like soup.  I live with my husband, David, who also doubles as my web and photography secret weapon. My other secret weapons here at Miami Dish are Chuck Ferrin who writes the Miami Drink wine and spirits column and video genie-in-a-bottle Brad Bryan.

My passions are good food and good stories.
