In the Small Kitchen: Turning your passion into a profession

Fri Feb 24, 2012 - 7:00 PM

Location: Ohio Union - Ohio Staters, Inc. Traditions Room

Rain Location: None

Graduate/Professional

Author, chef, and food personality Phoebe Lapine will speak about "feeding your creativity," and how she quit her office job in favor of a more creative career in the food blogosphere. As a woman not so far removed from college herself, she'll also discuss her own challenges and success of cooking and eating while a student. A book signing will follow the talk.

Phoebe Lapine is a 26 –year-old cookbook author, private chef, and caterer, born and bred in New York City, where she continues to live and eat.

After graduating Brown University in 2007, Phoebe was hired by L’Oreal, where she worked in global marketing and developed women’s fragrance brands for Ralph Lauren. To balance her day job with her love of cooking and feeding friends, in November 2008, Phoebe co-founded Big Girls, Small Kitchen (BGSK), a food website for twenty-something cooks looking for user-friendly, affordable ways to navigate their kitchens, along with childhood best friend, Cara Eisenpress. Their first cookbook, In the Small Kitchen, was published by Harper Collins in May 2011, with a foreword by Ina Garten, who’s Food Network Show, The Barefoot Contessa, Phoebe has appeared on twice. In the Small Kitchen is now in its second printing.
