Hi, I’m Claire!

Food is my way of bringing joy, connection, and creativity into my everyday life. I believe food should be something to savor, not stress over.

Alongside food, I’ve held a lifelong long for words and stories. I earned my MFA in Writing from Columbia University, with my work having appeared in The Iowa Review, The Sonora Review, Plain China, and most recently was shortlisted for the International Hope Prize where my writing will appear in an anthology published by Simon & Schuster.

If I’m not cooking, I’m writing, and if I’m not writing, I’m probably with my, frankly, perfect dog George.
