Experience

Kirstie has worked as a freelance writer for more than a decade. Her writing has been featured in publications like Insider, Entertainment Weekly, HuffPost, and more. She's a self-described aspiring Food Network star who has interviewed many celebrity chefs and cooking reality TV series cast members to find out what makes food television so addicting. A home cook herself, she enjoys trying new recipes, making food for family and friends, and sharing her love of food as a part of her personal blog. Formerly the entertainment editor of Literally, Darling, Kirstie believes that food, television, and movies go hand-in-hand, which is why you'll often find her cozied up on the couch with her husband, their dogs, and something delicious for dinner while watching the latest show or movie release.
