About Us

What is Hedonism Ink? Concise and intelligent writing about food, wine, and other pleasurable pursuits.

We create and refine written materials of all kinds, with each piece of copy tailored to your brand’s unique image, voice, and context.

In short: we’re your business’s secret weapon.

The most common projects we work on are websites, e-newsletters, tasting notes, brochures and recipes, but we've also ghostwritten media kits, press releases, poems, speeches, and song lyrics. Quirky projects welcome.

How We Got Started

I'm Deirdre Bourdet, the Founder and Chief Eating Officer of Hedonism Ink, and a lifelong lover of good food, wine, people, and prose.

I graduated from Vassar College magna cum laude with a degree in French, and from Ecole Le Cordon Bleu Paris with a diploma in French Cuisine and Oenologie. For various reasons of debatable excellence, I then spent more than ten years trying to enjoy being a lawyer in San Francisco and Napa Valley. In 2009, I followed my heart/stomach back to my truest passions: wine and food, writing, and helping others achieve their goals.
