Bio

Caroline Wright is a cook, writer and terminal brain cancer patient. During her undergraduate education in Paris, Caroline was inspired to turn a life-long interest and passion for food into a career. Caroline attended the La Varenne culinary program with Anne Willan in Burgundy, then started her career writing and styling recipes as a food editor for Martha Stewart’s Everyday Food magazine, which folded in 2012. Her original recipes have appeared in a variety of national magazines since, including Cooking Light, Southern Living, Every Day with Rachael Ray, Real Simple and Health. While writing articles, she authored three cookbooks: Twenty Dollar, Twenty-Minute Meals (Workman 2013) and Cake Magic! (Workman 2016), two personal books that capture her fresh and friendly recipe style, plus another that transformed the recipes of a Catalan chef and restauranteur into home cooking, Catalan Food (Clarkson Potter 2018). Then, in 2017, Caroline was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. After her diagnosis, Caroline shifted her diet, started a vegan soup club for her friends in Seattle who cooked for her when she was sick. She began writing personal essays regularly about her cancer as it relates to food on her blog called “The Wright Recipes,” as well as on other major online publications including Food52, The Kitchn and Bon Appétit.  She wrote a children’s book for her sons about her enduring love, entitled “Lasting Love,” published by Rodale Kids (a Random House imprint) in August 2019, and has another children’s series about baking by HarperCollins called Little Bakers that was released in Fall 2021. Caroline lives in Seattle, Washington with her family.

My name is Tara Jensen and my mission is to inspire self-confidence through the craft of baking.

I’ve been baking daily in one way or another for over twenty years. In my twenties, I baked professionally for bakeries like Red Hen Baking, in Middlsex, Vermont and Farm and Sparrow, in Asheville, North Carolina. I ran a wood-fired market bakery, Smoke Signals, from 2011 to 2018, in Asheville, North Carolina, while also learning about fresh flour at Carolina Ground. My bread and pies have been featured in Food & Wine and Bon Appetit and my Instagram includes over 109,000 followers worldwide. I teach in-person and virtual workshops on sourdough bread and other delicious treats, whole grain pie crust and sourdough cinnamon rolls.  You can find my first book (my diary of living and loving at a wood-fired bakery in the mountains) A Baker’s Year, wherever books are sold and you can now pre-order my second book, Flour Power, now! Catch me with my toddler, Violet Rye, baking up a storm on Instagram under @Bakerhands.

Hi, I’m Chef Dennis, and Welcome to my Culinary Journey! I am the writer, photographer, recipe developer, and creator of Ask Chef Dennis® and hope you’ll enjoy my easy and delicious restaurant-style recipes & travel adventures.

My aim to help you understand that cooking delicious restaurant-style meals in your home is not as difficult as you think. I’m here to help you create deliciousness in your kitchen without taking hours to do so or using difficult-to-find ingredients. After all, I don’t have all day to spend in the kitchen why should I expect anyone else to. The meals I help you create in your kitchen will bring smiles to your table and help you save money on dining out. And that’s a win-win in my book! The biggest plus to cooking at home is controlling your ingredients. You never have to worry about what the restaurants, fast food, and takeout places use in the food they serve you. Travel is my latest passion, and I’ve been fortunate enough to enjoy trips worldwide and write about my adventures. I love to take you along on the trips, sharing my unique brand of Culinary Travel with you and inspiring you to get out and see the world.

Barry Enderwick

Bio: "The path to where I am now was not a straight one, to be sure. After getting kicked out of college and eventually landing in the field of graphic design, I joined a little-known startup in 2001 called Netflix. Over the course of the next 11 years I got real-world schooling in brand, brand position, marketing, messaging, PR, competition, international expansion, business strategy, and more.

Today, I’m a consultant living in Silicon Valley with my lovely fiancé Christine and our elderpug Lily.

I love to run, cook (see main Instagram account), make, drink, and review craft beer (see Craft Beer Barry Instagram account), review oddly flavored potato chips (see In The Chips With Barry instagram account), and golf. If I still lived in San Diego, I would add body surfing to the top of that list." (From Website)
