HELP, Any of you food professionals. Food writing job open, I'm published, but not as a food writer

Here's the ad:

Unleash your inner Rachel Ray. Monthly magazine with statewide circulation seeks an experienced, locally based food writer to write monthly content on a freelance basis. Opportunities include a cooking column, restaurant reviews and various food briefs. For consideration, please send a resume and three samples.

Here's my freak out:

There is a oppoortunity for me to apply for a food writer position, they want a resume and 3 writing samples. I can tailor a resume, but I've never had to make one for a writer. Also,I am going to begin a business in OK as a personal chef in January. So that would definately go in a cover letter. I have never done any food writing, but I am qualified, as I am a gourmet. HELP! Resume, what kind, writing smaples, what do I use, and do I write a sample article on a food subject? I think I'm OK to have it in by Tuesday, as the job post just came up today.

Good luck, can't help you here, but congrats on the personal chef job! Let your imagination

flow, and your inner-writer just may come out!
