She’s a former cook and truffle dealer. Hollyman got her start at Food & Wine Magazine and has worked under award-winning pastry chef Christina Tosi at Momofuku Milk Bar and for food writers Mark Bittman during his time at the New York Times and Amanda Hesser at Food52.

She is very allergic to the entire squash family in case you ever share a meal together.
