Experience
Kristine’s first big experience in food and culinary journalism was at FSR magazine, a trade publication for chefs and restaurateurs, where she spent eight years as the wine editor. While she was tasting and reviewing wines there, she began freelance writing and offering content marketing services for an array of clients and publications, which she has continued to do for the past 22 years. Kristine has earned bylines at culinary and food publications like Wine Enthusiast and Food Network and contributed many design, travel and local lifestyle pieces to publications like National Geographic Traveler, TIME, Midwest Living, Conde Nast Traveler and many, many more.
Kristine has also added the title of “book author” to her list of accomplishments, having published a cookbook centered around Wisconsin cheese and another about farmers markets in Wisconsin. She’s currently working on a novel set in the French art world, as well.
Outside of work, Kristine likes to take cooking classes in the places she travels to learn about the local culinary culture—and be inspired when she comes back to work in Wisconsin.
