Vanessa Chang

Folks call me a FOOD NERD - I write about food and also research it for my work as a specialty food/culinary consultant.

The "She" in she craves is Vanessa Chang.

Her work as a food writer has appeared in the New York Times, Gourmet magazine, Sunset, VIA, and Wine Enthusiast Online among others. She also is a contributor and editor for Edible Wasatch magazine.

She also works as the Director of Education for Caputo's Market, an award-winning specialty food store, where she nerds out on topics like fine chocolate, olive oils, artisan pasta, and farmstead cheese.

She likes to get people all hot and bothered about food, the way she does. She tries to achieve this through this blog, her writing, her work with Caputo's, and consulting event coordinators, non-profit groups, restaurants, and other business owners. Really, she will talk to anyone about food.

When she's not cooking, she's usually in one of the following places:
* In front of the computer (writing a blog post, checking airfares, racing deadlines)

* In her puny garden

* Hanging awkwardly from a harness at the climbing gym

* On the phone fending off her nagging but loving Asian mother

* Usually in Salt Lake City, where she lives and works.
