Bio

Tammy Donroe Inman is a Boston-area writer, mother, cooking instructor, mushroom hunter, ice cream wizard, cryptogram lover, and vagabond public school teacher. She's been called other things, too.

A graduate of Tufts University and the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts, Inman sharpened her knives in the test kitchen of Cook's Illustrated magazine and the PBS television show America's Test Kitchen. After that, she worked as a writer and editor for Boston magazine. Her blog, Food on the Food, has been praised by The Boston Globe, The Chicago Tribune, Edible Boston, and Saveur.com. Inman's work has also been featured in The Boston Globe, Fine Cooking, Parents, Yankee Magazine, Tufts Magazine, Grilled, Home & Garden, Elegant Wedding, Cape Cod Life, Culinate, BlogHer, and Serious Eats.

Her first cookbook, Wintersweet: Seasonal Desserts to Warm the Home, was released to rave reviews from The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, and USA Today. Her second book, Twitterati Cryptograms: 350 Snarky Ciphers for Social Media Junkies, has been universally panned by the elderly on Amazon due to excessive profanity. She's currently working on a variety of secret projects as she tries to rack up as many pseudonyms as possible.
