Karen Resta

Karen has written for Lucky Peach, Edible Manhattan/Brooklyn/Queens, Chowhound.com, Frenchly, Paste, Best American Poetry.com, and other publications. Her interests include food history, philosophy and culture, cookbooks of all kinds, and researching unique or unusual cooking tools and techniques. She’s also obsessed with finding not only the best but the easiest ways to love cooking and eating for one or for multitudes at all levels of dedicated time and money.

Though a long-time Brooklyn resident, she’s also lived in the rural South, the Florida Keys, New England and Paris. In recent years she’s traveled to Budapest, Kyiv, and Paris during their Fashion Weeks as a photographer and writer, always finding the best authentic pastries along the way.

Karen has a degree from The New School.
