Laurie Goldrich Wolf (born c. 1956[1]) is an American food writer and entrepreneur. Her husband since 1984, Bruce Wolf, who is a professional photographer,[2][3] sometimes collaborates with her.[4]

Education and early career

Wolf graduated from the Calhoun School in Manhattan[2] and The Culinary Institute of America, worked as a chef and caterer, and as food editor for Mademoiselle and Child for 18 years.[5][6] Wolf and her husband moved from New York to Portland in 2008.[6]

Book writing

Wolf has written several

children's books. Candy 1 to 20 (photography by her husband Bruce), which teaches children to read and count numbers with photographs of candy, received a Kirkus Reviews writeup that noted its "transformation of the familiar into the sweetly surprising",[7] and a review from Publishers Weekly that called it an "especially kid-friendly approach to counting".[8]

Her 2014 Portland, Oregon Chef's Table was described as "both as a cookbook and a restaurant guide",[6] and a "powerful tour of Portland's current restaurant scene".[5] The book contains a full chapter on brunch,[9][4] a uniquely prominent facet of Portland's restaurant scene.[10]

Her crowdfunded 2015 cookbook Herb: Mastering the Art of Cooking with Cannabis was coauthored with Melissa Parks, a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu in Minneapolis.[11]

Since 2014, she has been the food writer for

The Cannabist.[12][13]
