A junior year abroad opened Carla Snyder's mind to the idea that a large portion of the world didn't eat to live, but lived to eat. After savoring the best that Europe had to offer and armed with the adage that life should be delicious, she embarked on a 25-year culinary journey beginning as a caterer, and moving on to cooking school teacher, artisan baker, food writer, and cookbook author with partner Meredith Deeds. Together the two have authored The Mixer Bible (Robert Rose, 2005), James Beard nominated The Big Book of Appetizers (Chronicle, 2006), The Take-Out Menu Cookbook: How to cook IN the foods you love to order OUT (Running Press, 2007), 300 Sensational Soups (Robert Rose, 2008) and The Little Black Dress Cookbook: Stylish, versatile recipes every cook should have in their culinary closet (Robert Rose, 2009). Carla has written for Bon Appétit, Family Fun, Better Homes and Gardens, Feast! Food and Fine Living in Northeast Ohio and The Plain Dealer. Carla lives in Hudson, Ohio and teaches cooking classes across the country.
