About the Author
I'm the author of six cookbooks: The New Milks; 100-Plus Dairy-Free Recipes for Making and Cooking with Soy, Nut, Seed, Grain, and Coconut Milks (Atria/Simon & Schuster, May 2016) , Mug Meals, Meatless All Day, Year-Round Slow Cooker, Williams-Sonona New Flavors for Salads, and Tasting Club.
I have created recipes or written articles for publications, including Every Day with Rachael Ray, Parents, Fine Cooking, Prevention.com, Dr. Oz The Good Life, Clean Eating, Coastal Living, Cooking Light, The Huffington Post, Specialty Food, and more.
My passion for food is also expressed through my artwork: I style and photograph many of my recipes, and paint still lifes of fruit, vegetables and flowers. My photographs have been published in O The Oprah Magazine and on Prevention.com and feedfeed; and have been shared on Instagram by Food & Wine, Health, Every Day with Rachael Ray, Cooking Light, and Real Simple Magazines. For photography samples, see my Instagram feed, @thenewmilks.
Recently, I founded The New Milks (www.thenewmilks.com) , a dairy-free resource site through which I am popularizing delicious and healthful plant-based, alternative, or dairy-free milks.
I've judged the sofi Awards (given out by the Specialty Food Association) ; conducted over 45 tastings and talks nationwide; and taught over 100 cooking classes through my (former) culinary instruction business, Cooking by Heart.
More than 200 media outlets have covered my work. Just a few include Redbook, Real Simple, Every Day with Rachael Ray, The New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, New York Post, "Fox" News in Boston and New York, NBC News, NPR and Wisconsin Public Radio.
Before embarking on my career in writing and teaching, I graduated from Columbia College, Columbia University (Anthropology/English Literature) and the Institute of Culinary Education Career program. I studied art at the Rhode Island School of Design and The Yellow Barn Studio and Gallery.
