So nice to meet you! I’m Kelly, an IACP-nominated food writer, recipe developer, and editorial consultant with nearly a decade of industry experience. Most recently, I was the recipe editor at TODAY where I managed digital recipe development and sponsored food franchises. I was previously a staff editor and writer at Food52 and Martha Stewart Living. My writing and recipes have appeared across digital and print publications including Allrecipes, Bon Appétit, CT Insider, Epicurious, Food & Wine, Food Network, Good Housekeeping, King Arthur Baking, The Kitchn, The Mediterranean Dish, Parade, Real Simple, and more. I also provide editorial support to food bloggers and content creators including A Simple Palate, The Defined Dish, Grace Elkus, and Zoe Barrie Soderstrom.

I’m currently writing my first cookbook, TEE UP: A Golf Cocktail Book with Chronicle Books.

What’s more? I also served as an on-air food host during my tenure at Martha Stewart Living and was a recurring cook on NBC Connecticut’s lifestyle show CT Live and WFSB’s daytime talk show Better Connecticut. I gained hands-on culinary experience while working as line cook at À’vert Brasserie in West Hartford, Connecticut, where I ate dozens (possibly hundreds) of macarons and endless handfuls of pommes frites.

I studied American Studies and English at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut (go bantams!). I currently live in West Hartford, Connecticut with my sweet husband, Evan.
