Allen Williams is a freelance writer with a passion for reality TV and food. Having been raised on apple pie and MTV's Real World, it's not hard to understand why.
After receiving a Creative Writing degree from Grand Valley State University and a Master's in Library & Information Science from the University of Texas, Allen pursued his interest in the internet industry and worked for several industry-leading companies Silicon Valley. With desire to return to his writing roots, Allen recently gave up the dot-com world for freelance writing.
Reality TV Junkie
Recently relocated to Vancouver B.C., Allen is amazed by the film industry presence in his new city and occasionally stumbles upon late-night movie shoots in his neighborhood. While film is near to his heart, Allen enjoys watching reality unfold on television.
His reality passion formed in college when MTV's Real World premiered and he watched it religiously. Over the years, he's been known to binge on Survivor, American Idol, America's Next Top Model, Project Runway, and So You Think You Can Dance and recently stumbled upon a rather sinful brain-candy show from ABC, Dating in the Dark.
Food & TV are Good Companions
With so much television programming to watch, Allen is never far from the kitchen. He enjoys baking and writing about his kitchen experiences. He is the author of two blogs: Eating Out Loud which focuses on modern recipes, and Recovered Recipes which focuses on sharing his vintage, handwritten recipe card collection.
Allen's writing is published on The Washington Post and Well Fed Network, and has been republished on Chicago Sun-Times and The Herald News. His food photography has been featured on Saveur and numerous food web sites.
