Coffee, Cookware, Small-batch Recipes
  • Samantha began honing her expertise in food and beverages during her years spent as a dining server, bartender, and barista.
  • She recently tested, rewrote, digitized, and privately published her family's many recipes, some over a hundred years old, into an heirloom family cookbook.
  • Samantha's hobbies include converting large baking recipes into versions that only serve one or two people— because sometimes you only need ONE cupcake.

Experience

Samantha has worked as a full-time content writer since 2020, focusing on the food, beverage, and lifestyle niches.

She also recently worked as a kitchen product review writer for Prudent Reviews, where she wrote deep-dive review pieces on kitchen appliances and cookware. In her spare time, she's an avid home cook who is always on the hunt for weird and unique recipes to try.
