About Erin McDowell

Erin Jeanne McDowell grew up in Kansas amidst a food obsessed family. She landed her first (after-school) job in a bakery, and was hooked! After pastry school in New York's Hudson Valley, she combined her love of baking with her desire to share ideas, recipes, and techniques with other bakers. She works in food media - writing, developing recipes, and styling food for photo shoots in the NYC area.
