Specialty Food Magazine

When I work with freelance writers, I’m always looking for three characteristics: good writing, good reporting, and good communication. Usually I have to settle for writers who check just two of those three boxes. Amanda Baltazar is one of the rare writers who checks all three. I can always trust that she’ll do a fantastic job, and she’s a pleasure to work with, to boot.
