hey there!

I’m Nichole Aksamit, founder, CEO, and chief scribbler/stirrer at Scribble & Stir. I write and edit—for any audience or platform, all lengths and formats, from pitch to final proofing—with quality backed by 20+ years of professional experience and special expertise in food, home, and health.

I’ve worked as a health reporter, food critic, recipe developer, culinary instructor, SEO writer, cookbook editor, copyeditor, content marketer, a leader at the world’s largest print and digital home cooking brand, and the editor in chief of Allrecipes magazine.

I’ve interviewed Anthony Bourdain. I’ve broken biscuits with Carla Hall. Once, I even ate Nashville hot chicken with Jerry Seinfeld. (Well, sort of.) Over the past decade, I’ve helped produce, write, edit, and package more than 8,400 magazine pages, 6,000 recipes, and 1,500 articles.

I’d love to take a meaty (or vegan!) project off your plate and cook up something delicious with you.
