About Jeanette
Welcome to my kitchen in Ridgewood, New Jersey
Food producer, recipe developer, on-camera host, mom of two. Seventeen years making food television with Rachael Ray, two Emmys, and now a very full fridge.
The short version
For seventeen years my job was making food look and taste right on television. Every dish you saw on Rachael Ray had a team behind it, testing it, timing it, fixing it between takes. I loved it. I also learned more about feeding people quickly and well than any cookbook could teach.
Then I had two kids, and weeknight dinner became the hardest production I'd ever run. That's the honest origin of everything here. The grazing boards started as the thing I brought to every party because I couldn't help myself. The catering grew out of people asking. And Monday Meals is the service I wished existed on the nights I had nothing left.
I live in Ridgewood, cook in Ridgewood, and drive it all to you myself. If you see me at the grocery store with two carts, say hi.
What I believe about dinner
- Real food, made by a person, tastes different. You can tell.
- Packaging matters. Nobody feels good about a foil tray.
- Busy isn't a character flaw. It's Tuesday.
- Kids will eat almost anything if it looks like a party.
