Writer Profile
Writer: Lauren Duffy
Lauren Duffy has had a passion for food almost as long as she has had a passion for words. After graduating from the University of Virginia with degrees in English and anthropology, Lauren dabbled in catering and PR before pursuing a career in print and online media. When not writing or editing, she’s probably cooking, homebrewing, or coaxing produce to spring forth from her garden. She supports slow food and sustainable agriculture and firmly believes in celebrating the pleasures of the table.
