Andrea Rivera Wawrzyn

I've worked in food for more than 15 years as a private chef, caterer, recipe developer, test cook, writer, and editor (among other things!).

Prior to joining The Kitchn team, I was an Associate Editor at America's Test Kitchen, where I contributed recipes to many well-researched, engaging cookbooks for children and families as well as to ATK's website. I was a contributing writer and performer on Mystery Recipe, an ingredient-themed podcast for families uncovering the fascinating world of food. I have also been a contributor to Serious Eats, and have worked on cookbooks for Ten Speed Press, Rebel Girls, and Clarkson Potter.

I’m passionate about helping the home cook be successful in the kitchen, whether through well-written recipes, thoughtful explainers, or useful guides. (I'm also passionate about clogs and burritos, but that's neither here nor there.)
