I started my first food business at age 7, selling hand-crafted brownies and fresh lemonade. I have been sharing my love for food, the stories that flow from it, and the special connections it uniquely creates for people ever since.

My personal passion and life’s work is a tapestry of consumer food brand strategy, television appearances, news and magazine writing, recipe development, book writing, cooking classes and hosting culinary events. After 26 years of hard work and dedication, I have built a company that offers all of these things. I am fortunate to be joined by a talented team of passionate culinary, food media and marketing professionals to share that talent and expertise with all of you.

James Beard is a personal hero…along with many great American food founders. I am grateful for their trailblazing, fostering our culture to view and embrace food as more than just function, but an all encompassing lifestyle.
