ABOUT KATIE


Mom’s Kitchen Handbook is my answer to all of the women over the years who have asked me for advice on feeding a family. With three kids of my own, I know it’s not always easy.

I hope to share some of what I’ve learned as a food professional, and through trial and error with my children. Whether it’s figuring out what to pack for lunch or setting limits on a sweets and snacks, this blog distills my approach to raising healthy, curious eaters, wading through our confusing culture of food and nutrition, and figuring out that age-old question: what’s for dinner?

In addition to my job as mom, I’m a freelance food and nutrition writer, registered dietitian, and cooking teacher. I’ve been published in the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, Cooking Light, Bon Appetit, Self, and Parenting, among others. My recipes appear in the novel The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul and will be featured in the next Food52 cookbook as a winner of one of its recipe contests. Mom’s Kitchen Handbook was named a Top Favorite Mom Food Blog by Red Tricycle. I’m currently hard at work on a cookbook for Chronicle Books. Stay tuned on that one!

I live in San Francisco with three daughters and my husband, who also happens to be my very gracious, and very unpaid editor. If you find a typo or grammatical error in my work, it’s because he was out of town and couldn’t give my writing a once over before I sent it into the blogosphere.

To learn a little bit more about me and the thinking behind this blog, check out this write up on Social Moms when I was named Mom of the Month or this interview for the SF Weekly.
