About Me

Cecelia Heer: Bayonne, New Jersey, United States; Most of my career has been working in the finance departments at major Wall Street firms and then in investor and public relations. My spare time, after running and working out, was always spent doing something related to food—either reading cookbooks, watching cooking shows, perusing the grocery stores, or cooking and inviting friends over for dinner. Alternatively, if I was NOT researching on what to make behind the stove, then I was reading reviews and visiting restaurants and trying new dishes that I would eventually replicate at home. I “cooked through” a top celebrity four-star chef's cookbook almost a decade before anyone started “blogging” about cooking through a celebrity chef's cookbook, let alone writing a book AND a movie about such. And, as I look at my library of more than 300 cookbooks, ranging from every four star chef and virtually every country on this planet, I have to chuckle and think to myself, “Was all of this trying to tell me something?” Eventually, it all did.
