About Cynthia:

Cooking has been a passion for as long as Cynthia can remember, inspired by cooking with her mom and big sister. Although she initially pursued a math degree with engineering aspirations, a study-abroad experience in France ignited her culinary career. She earned the Grand Diplôme d’Etudes Culinaires from La Varenne and never looked back.

With decades of experience, Cynthia has worn many hats: cookbook author, recipe developer, cooking instructor, food tech consultant, and writer for various publications. She has contributed to Seattle magazine, Modernist Cuisine, and many others, and taught classes in diverse settings, including online for Craftsy.

Her nonprofit work includes leadership roles in the International Association of Culinary Professionals and the Seattle chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier, along with a certificate in nonprofit management from the University of Washington.
