Harlan, Jessica: - Jessica Harlan is the author of nine cookbooks, including Quinoa Cuisine, Tortillas to the Rescue, Crazy for Breakfast Sandwiches, and The Little Book of Takoyaki. Her food-writing career has taken her to some amazing places: eating a multicourse truffle feast in a village in Italy, judging a hot and spicy food competition in Albuquerque, sipping iced cider in Montreal. A graduate of the Institute of Culinary Education, she's written for HGTV, the Food Network, Southern Living, AllRecipes, Town & Country, and more.

She lives in Atlanta with her husband and two teenagers, who never complain when ramen is being served for dinner. Visit her website at JessicaHarlan.com or follow her on Instagram at @jessica_g_harlan.
