My food column, Cooking with Kerry Dunnington focused primarily on health-oriented, seasonal recipes.

The Challenge, sponsored by the Baltimore Convivium of Slow Food International, invites area restaurants to serve locally sourced, seasonal and preserved food. Each month beginning in May, one area restaurant will be asked to serve -- during one week of the month -- a special three-course menu each night with the primary ingredients in each course to be locally sourced, and either currently in season, or traditionally preserved.

My food column, "New Bites" featured new food products. The products were featured in recipes I created.

My column, "A Reason for the Season" featured seasonal food with story, profile and recipes.

As a former hotel General Manager, the editor of Hotel Food & Beverage Executive magazine thought I would be the perfect candidate to write about food experiences related to hotel life. My column, Scene & Tasted is where I shared my hospitality and cuisine insights.
