Once a TV producer of travel programs, a book editor—including The New Cook’s Catalogue (Alfred A. Knopf 2000)—and an educational tour leader, Nancy loves to share the techniques she has learned from friendly and gifted cooks in more than 45 countries. She has taught cooking for Citizen Schools, City Harvest, The Sylvia Center and Manhattan Youth, as well as with Chefs Move to Schools, Wellness in the Schools, and Spoons Across America. A graduate of Amherst College and Manhattan’s French Culinary Institute—now the ICC—she holds two master’s degrees from NYU in Food Studies and in Journalism. She lives with her husband and three daughters in Brooklyn. Specialties: Culinary education, culinary tourism, tour operation.
