Deb Perelman isn't a chef or a restaurant owner, but cooking in her tiny Manhattan kitchen was for special occasions. Deb found herself overwhelmed by the number of recipes available to her. So Deb founded her award-winning blog, Smitten Kitchen, on the premise that cooking should be a pleasure, and that the results of your labor should be delicious. Deb is a firm believer that there are no bad cooks, just bad recipes. She has dedicated herself to creating and finding the best of the best and adapting the recipes for the everyday cook.
