A Receipt* for Cooking and Clay: A Delicious Collaboration of Taste and Place

Tamie Cook
Growing up, Tamie loved to cook at the knee of her mother. Little did she know this early love for food would be rekindled years later in Paris, leading her to the New England Culinary Institute and then to the Food Network show Good Eats, where she worked as Culinary Director for eleven years. Now, when she’s not working as a personal chef for celebrities such as Robert Downey Jr., Michelle Pfeiffer, Anne Hathaway, or Sylvester Stallone, she is researching, cooking, or playing with food. Started in 2013, Tamie Cook Culinary Productions is a much-sought-after culinary consulting firm specializing in recipe development, teaching, catering, food styling, and myriad other services. Tamie has contributed recipe development, testing, and food styling to thirty-three cookbooks and is currently working on the thirty-fourth. Whether it’s an intimate dinner for two or a cookbook with 200 recipes, bringing food and people together in ways that transform them both is always Tamie’s goal.
