- Food is Jaimie's love language -- she, her husband, and their daughter cook together almost every night.
- During her time as a restaurant owner, she founded a women's wine club and hosted regular classes to taste and explore the world of natural wine.
- Her love of cooking was inherited from her mother, a phenomenal home cook who made the kitchen the heart of Jaimie's childhood home.
Experience
Jaimie has been writing professionally for over a decade, but her passion for food and cooking came much earlier. She started her career in the wedding industry, working as an editor for BRIDES Magazine and writing a wedding planning book while working as an event planner in the mountains of Colorado. Jaimie also worked closely with jewelry designer Neil Lane on his wedding planning book, "Style Your Wedding with Neil Lane." Her love of cooking and passion for hospitality led her to open a restaurant with her husband outside of Vail, where she fell deeper in love with the power of food to connect people. As a food journalist, she has contributed to brands such as Tasting Table, Mashed, and Chowhound. These days, she is raising a budding foodie and can be found exploring Denver's restaurant scene with her family on nights when she's not in the kitchen herself, turning out family meals designed to bring her loved ones together around the table.
Education
Jaimie has a degree in French literature from Barnard College at Columbia University.
