Katie Workman
Katie Workman is on a mission to make people feel more comfortable with getting weeknight dinners on the table and entertaining friends. As she developed solutions to making her family meals easier and more universally liked, she created The Mom 100 blog and her first cookbook, The Mom 100 Cookbook, which Cooking Light named one of the top hundred books of the past 25 years. Dinner Solved followed, which Ina Garten called “A stunningly good book for busy parents.” Katie writes the popular “Cooking on Deadline” column for the AP and is a frequent contributor to national publications and food forums. For her “friend hanging out with you in your kitchen” vibe, Katie regularly appears on radio, television, and streaming video such as NPR’s All Things Considered, The Today Show, Access Hollywood Live, and Craftsy.com. She also develops content and recipes for brands like World Market Cost Plus, GE Appliances, Roth Cheese, and Bob’s Red Mill.
