I'm an award-winning author, photographer, trained chef, recipe-developer, and cooking instructor. My passion is writing timeless cookbooks and digital zines that inspire and educate home cooks about the value of baking with fresh, seasonal ingredients. After working in the test kitchen of Cook's Illustrated magazine and the PBS television show America's Test Kitchen, I went on to write four books, as well as publish articles in Fine Cooking, Yankee Magazine, Boston Globe, Boston magazine, Cape Cod Life, and Serious Eats. I speak frequently at public libraries about the benefits of eating locally, and I moonlight as a cheesemonger at Formaggio Kitchen in Boston.
