Beth
As part of the Smarterhomecooking.com family, Beth is actually related to some of the team. The rest of the staff have made her our de facto Aunt. Everyone should be so lucky to have an Aunt Beth. She's a devoted dog lover, a bit extra (by her own admission), funny, whip-smart, sarcastic, loves to celebrate every occasion in style, and knows all the best and newest foodie spots. But her biggest superpower is kindness, and being an amazingly thoughtful gift-giver.

I’m a former journalist and marketing consultant. I combine my love of good food with my obsession for organization - because a well-stocked, perfectly arranged pantry is just as satisfying as a delicious meal. When I’m not experimenting with cooking new dishes for friends or figuring out the most efficient way to make meal prep exciting, you’ll find me out in San Francisco with my dog Benny, binging on podcasts, or checking out new dining experiences. Some days it’s gourmet, other days it’s survival mode!
