Bio
Taylor is a Southern California-born cook and writer. In her own work, she focuses on using food as the common ground we all share and creating a great meal to connect with as many people as possible. “If I can get one more person to have the courage or inspiration to start cooking, then I’ve done my job.”
Her favorite herb is basil, closely followed by a tie between every other herb. “Fresh herbs make everything amazing.”
What she loves most about her job is being able to cook and talk about food all day. As for her favorite food to cook? “Anything I haven’t tried yet.”
She began her career in food media in 2017 as a freelance recipe tester at Food52. Shortly after she was hired as a food editor and test kitchen assistant at Hearst Magazines until the end of 2019 when she left NYC to resume freelancing and reconnect with her roots and family on the West coast.
