Experience

Simone is an experienced food writer based on the West coast of Canada. She began her career at The Food Network Canada, where she wrote about the intersection of food and pop culture. Over the past decade, she's contributed to Chowhound, Montecristo, and the Toronto Sun, covering everything from how to make restaurant quality ramen at home to where to find the best street tacos in Puerto Vallarta. As a writer for The Knot, Simone wrote a deep dive on the KitchenAid Mixer and educated readers on the best culinary-themed wedding gifts. A life-long foodie, Simone believes eating should be a fun adventure. When she's not obsessing over what to eat next, she authors Love, Peace and Tacos, a newsletter that brings together her two loves: food and travel.
