So I’ve been reading these great articles from the Sewanee Review, and I decided to send them one, too.
I’m delighted to see it published, here.
Let me know what you think.

ECS Nepal in 2018
in food writing, published, writing
This year, like last, I’ve written multiple articles each month for ECS Nepal and our sister publications. Here are some of the ones I most enjoyed researching and writing, plus a few that generated some buzz. A surprising number have been interviews, which I seem to have done a lot more of this year.
A young innovative chef trying to reinvent local cuisine Feb 2018
Meeting a pioneer of Patan’s traditional homestay movement March 2018
A really enjoyable interview with ultra-runner Lizzy Hawker April 2018
Interview with the new head of WWF Nepal May 2018
The cool mix of traditional and modern that is Metalwork May 2018
I wrote an article about football
in Kathmandu, Nepal, published, writing
Delighted to have an article published at Unusual Efforts – it’s aptly titled (not by me, but a great title!) What’s an Italy fan in football-mad Nepal to do during the World Cup?
In an unusual bit of serendipity, the editor’s choice to put it up today coincides with the 15th anniversary of my mother’s death. While she was not a football fan as such, she was half Italian and it was my childhood spent in Italy with her that cultivated my love of all things Italian, which as you can see, continues to this day.

ECS Nepal in 2017
in Kathmandu, published, writing
Since joining ECS Nepal as editor in January of 2017, I’ve done a lot more writing for the magazine, rather too much to post it all here. When I have time, though, I’ll still be linking to work published – like the article below, one of my recent favourites.
Meeting a fascinating traditional medicine man, found here
About a favorite local soup, here
Everybody Seems to be Eating Brains These Days

Learning something new every day…
in Ayurveda, ECS Nepal, published, writing
This month’s issue is all about local methods of traditional healing, Ayurveda, herbal remedies and related issues.
Do you know what Ayurveda is? Well, I didn’t either – till I read this: Ayurveda: A Beginner’s Overview
Still not sure I get it completely, but 🙂
And I loved the travel piece by Jeremy Vestal about his trip to Jumla: Go West! Adventure Awaits!
The articles I personally enjoyed working on most were Nepali Medicine Man – which was just amazing, to see something that to me was right out of the past so fully alive today – and Wonders out of Waste, about two awesome sisters who run a paper recycling business.
On newstands now ;)

Article on 3D printed prosthetics in The Kathmandu Post
in 3D printed prosthetics, published, writing
As my first byline in The Kathmandu Post, I’m glad that it’s also on a topic that means a lot to me and I believe also has the potential to matter for Nepal. I love the intersection of cutting edge science and practical applications for those who need it most.

News
in ECS Nepal, Food, published, writing
In early January I was offered the position of editor at ECS Nepal, the magazine I have contributed to for years as a freelance writer. It was a big surprise, but a good one. So far it’s been a crazy, hectic whirlwind of learning, hard work, and fun.
February’s magazine (above) is a special food issue, the first with my name on the masthead. It’s pretty funny it turned out that way, since food is the topic I’ve written about most for them over the years. The great group of people I work with did so much to make it happen on time in challenging circumstances and with a new editor taking over halfway through the process–I’m thrilled and honoured to be on the team.
