| Occupation | cookbook author and food journalist |
| Location | Missoula, MT, United States |
| Introduction | Although I have a Ph.D. in Zoology and held a full professorship at the University of Montana, I gave up the academic life more than 25 years ago and plunged headlong into the world of food. I've written articles for most of the major food magazines, and I write two monthly columns for my local paper, the Missoulian. I also contribute food columns to the Missoulian's quarterly magazine, missoula.com. I'm an award-winning cookbook author. "Baking in America" won the James Beard Award in 2003, and "A Baker's Odyssey" won the 2009 Cordon d'Or Academy Award. My newest book is "Montana Cooking."
