Following are the 29 books — representing a wide assortment of topics — that I’ve either coauthored or overseen.

Books coauthored

The six titles in this group were produced in a collaborative partnership with a Philadelphia-area food professional. My role was to share in the development of the ideas, sell the ideas to an agent and publisher, collaborate in the preparation of the material, assist in recipe testing, edit the manuscripts before their submission to the publishers, and work with the publishers on production aspects of moving the books into print.

Book projects

All but the last nine books in this group were produced by The Philadelphia Inquirer, most based on material first published in the newspaper. My role was to sell the books to publishers, usually with a formal, written proposal; to work with the authors in planning the books and editing the material; and to work with the publishers on production aspects of moving the books into print.
