Bio

"Kim Kushner is a teacher and the author of three best-selling cookbooks, ‘I ♥ Kosher’, ‘The New Kosher’ and ‘The Modern Menu’. Raised in Montreal, Canada, Kim learned to cook at an early age from her Moroccan-born mother and spent summers with family in Israel. A graduate of the Institute of Culinary Education in Manhattan, she has developed recipes for Food and Wine and Chile Pepper magazines and has worked as a private chef. In 2005, she launched Kim Kushner Cuisine and now travels the world teaching her wildly popular cooking classes. As a mother of four, a culinary instructor, and an author, Kim's cooking style reflects her busy multi-tasking life. Her recipes are flavor-packed and made with straightforward techniques that bring ease, time-savings, and creativity to the kitchen. She's become well known in New York City and abroad for her healthy and hearty dishes made from locally grown produce --- not necessarily the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of kosher cuisine.

Kim has appeared on the Today Show and has been featured in The International New York Times, The Huffington Post, Saveur, and The Chicago Tribune and is recognized as a leader in redefining kosher cuisine; her cookbooks feature everyday recipes for delicious and artful dishes made from accessible, seasonal ingredients. Kim lives in New York City with her husband and children. "(From her website)

Bio:

I’m a lover of all things crafty and am obsessed with cooking and feeding those around me. I’m self-taught...and mom-taught.

My creativity was sparked at a young age by the most imaginative, organized, detail-oriented person I know…my mom. I grew up a “maker” creating EVERYTHING from scratch. My parents instilled in me to treat all of life’s moments, even the little ones, as memorable and unique, and that is what’s at the heart of From Scratch.

My hope is to inspire others to be hands-on in your life. In this digital age that we live in, it can be hard to step away from our electronics and truly connect with those around us. That’s what From Scratch is about -helping you be present in the everyday moments and giving you the inspiration and tools to create something that is unique to you.

I guarantee, if you start to cook, craft, and create your happiness will increase, and so will the happiness of those around you. When I’m not crafting, you can find me in Los Angeles with my husband and two beautiful (and crazy) boys, with my gal pals, doing yoga or drinking coffee. Fair warning — 99.9% of the time I am covered in flour, paint, or glitter! Follow along this incredibly fun journey as we create something wonderful together.

"Rose Levy Beranbaum is an American baker, cookbook author and blogger. She pioneered the reverse creaming technique of cake-making. In this process, the fat and flour are mixed first before adding the remaining ingredients. By coating the flour in fat, gluten development is inhibited, helping to prevent toughness

Rose has been called the “Diva of Desserts” and “the most meticulous cook who ever lived.” And add this recent accolade—-“If ever there was a cookbook author who could place her hands on top of yours, putting you through the proper motions, helping you arrive at just the right touch, Beranbaum is the one.”

Steadfast in the world of food writing, Rose is a Contributing Editor to Food Arts Magazine where “Rose’s Sugar Bible” (April 2000) received two prestigious awards: The Association of Food Journalists Award for the Best Food Feature in a Magazine and The Jacob’s Creek World Food Award for Best Food Article. She is also a contributor to The Washington Post, Fine Cooking, Bride's, Reader's Digest, and Hemispheres.

Rose is a popular guest on major television shows (The Today Show, The Early Show, Martha Stewart, Charlie Rose, The Food Network, and PBS: Master Classes of Johnson & Wales, and Seasonings with Dede Wilson). Rose is currently working on her second season of “Baking Magic with Rose Levy Beranbaum” on PBS stations across the country."

BAKING WITH DORIE: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan (on-sale October 19, 2021, Houghton Mifflin, $35/hardcover)

"Dorie Greenspan's name is synonymous with baking. The renowned author of thirteen cookbooks and winner of five James Beard and two IACP awards offers up a collection that celebrates the sweet, the savory, and the simple. Every recipe is signature Dorie: Easy and accessible, with ingredients available at the corner grocery store. Beginners can ace every technique in this book. Are there surprises? But of course! Berry biscuits. Foot-long cheese sticks made with cream puff dough, gouda, and cumin. An apple pie with browned butter that tastes like warm mulled cider. A fast s'mores ice cream cake with velvety chocolate sauce, salty peanuts, and toasted marshmallows. This collection of simple yet sophisticated baking includes chapters like Breakfast Stuff * Cakes * Cookies * Pies and Tarts * Salty Bakes. Each one features "Sweethearts," Dorie's all-time favorite recipes that lend themselves to being remade, refashioned, and riffed on, like the chocolate chip cookies, meringue, and brioche.

This year marks New York Times bestselling author Dorie Greenspan’s thirtieth anniversary as a cookbook author. She has won five James Beard Awards for her cookbooks and journalism and was inducted into the Who’s Who of Food and Beverage in America. A columnist for the New York Times Magazine, Dorie was recently awarded an Order of Agricultural Merit from the French government for her outstanding writing on the foods of that country. She lives in New York City, Westbrook, Connecticut, and Paris."
