My Background
I’ve spent the past 15+ years testing (and retesting!) thousands of recipes to make sure they’re not only delicious, but also simple enough for busy home cooks. As a professional recipe developer and tester, I’m all about removing the guesswork from cooking and baking.
I’ve taken numerous cooking classes over the years and love staying current with new techniques and trends. As a professional food photographer with a background in digital media, I love to make food look pretty and share my photos and videos across social media.

- I love to bake cookies, breads and share them with friends (in real life and online)!
