A highly favored writer at Self Magazine, Jennifer also writes for Yoga Life as their Chef contributor

healthy cooking can be fresh and fun. On her hugely popular website www.skinnychef.com, she

Always in search of knowledge, Jennifer earned a master’s degree in French Literature from the
University of Pittsburgh. She spent time traveling throughout Europe and worked in Lugano,
Switzerland for a telecom company, but her passion for cooking was ever-present. After relocating
to New York City with her husband, Jennifer decided to leave the business world to follow her
dream of becoming a chef.
After graduating with honors from the Institute of Culinary Education, (formerly Peter Kump’s)
Jennifer was invited to intern with Chef Scott Bryan, chef owner of Veritas restaurant. While there,
she met Tyler Florence of the Food Network. Serving again upon invitation, Jennifer interned on
Tyler’s cookbook, Eat This Book, where she learned the essentials of food styling and
photography.
Jennifer received her most formative culinary experience in her granny’s kitchen starting at age
eight. Growing up in her grandmother’s house, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she learned in depth
cooking techniques, how to use the freshest ingredients, the ups and downs of baking, and most of
all, how to cook with love.
Jennifer lives in New Jersey with her husband, Ulrich who shares her passion for food and healthy
living.
