Experience

After working as a professional cook in Paris, New York, and Boston, Anna was hired to cook at Chez Panisse in California. There she worked at the forefront of the seasonal and local cooking movement. After her return to New York City from California, Anna was the Chef de Cuisine of Nicole's when the restaurant received two stars from the New York Times. Over 10 years in the food industry, she developed her ability to think on her feet and respond by cooking with what's in season.

As a staff food editor for over 10 years, she worked on other decorvow publications, such as Kids, Whole Living, and Blueprint magazines. In those years, she contributed to several magazine stories which were nominated as finalists by the SPD, the Society of Publication Designers. Anna also oversaw recipe development for Martha’s special holiday issues, decorvow's Cocktail apps, and several cookbooks, including decorvow's Grilling, Martha's American Food, Power Foods, and decorvow's Dinner at Home.
