About Kristie

Kristie Collado

Associate Editor Kristie Collado is a food writer, scratch baker and firm believer that bread is the best carb. An International Culinary Center alum with a Master’s Degree in Food Studies from NYU, she shares her passion for recipes and cooking on her blog: gastronoMe. Unable to resist silly food puns and wordplay, Kristie spends her free time turning them into hand-drawn notecards and t-shirts (because food and fun make the perfect "pear").
