about martha holmberg

in brief

I'm a food editor, cookbook author, recipe developer, and teacher. I am also the chief executive officer of the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP). I live in Portland, Oregon, and thereby have access to fantastic agricultural bounty, exquisite hand-crafted food, and a right jolly restaurant scene.  

I'm available for projects

I'm always open to new projects, and I love to work with like-minded collaborators. Here's a partial list of capabilities:

• Co-write or ghost-write cookbooks
• Consult on cookbook proposals 
• Write copy for advertising and marketing campaigns
• Translate cookbooks and culinary texts from French to English
• Manage editorial projects, including design direction and photo shoots
