A  cookbook author of Sunny Side Up, more than 100 recipes from the essential egg to the perfect pastry. She is the encouraging but honest judge on Food Network's hit show, Cake Wars, and former executive pastry chef of such notable restaurants as SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, four-starred Bazaar by José Andrés, Joachim Splichal's Michelin-starred Patina, and the Penthouse Restaurant at the Huntley Hotel.

She co-founded fonuts bakery in los angeles, specializing in baked not fried donuts with a modern twist, including gluten free and vegan options. She is also a former cast member of the Bravo show Eat, Drink, Love and CNBC's Restaurant Startup. She recently gave up city life for Park City, Utah, to start her own modern homestead with chickens, ducks, horses, goats, donkeys and dogs (cows coming soon!). Her love of country life and the outdoors has brought her back to the basics of food and life, where she now owns and operates a wholesale bakery, Butter & Barley.

She strives to deepen her culinary knowledge, expand her homestead to gardens, cheese making and raising her own food. As well as be a voice to bridge the gap between farmers, ranchers and the restaurant consumer world. To connect the people back to their food on a wholesome and educated journey.
