<strong>The EVERDAY FOOD Cooks</strong>
<strong>Lucinda Scala Quinn</strong>
Raised in a family of “foodies,” it came as no surprise that Lucinda began cooking
professionally at the age of 16. Lucinda has worked as chef, caterer, cooking teacher and
food writer.
In addition to co-hosting <em>Everyday Food</em>, Lucinda presently oversees the food
group, which contributes to MSLO’s media and merchandising business segments. Shi
is formerly the food editor of Martha Stewart Living Television.
Her recent cookbook, <em>Rustic Italian Cooking</em>, was released in 2007. Lucinda's
<em>Authentic Jamaican Cooking</em>, written prior to her joining Martha Stewart Living
Omnimedia, was
re-released in April 2006. She is currently working on a book about food and family.
Lucinda lives in New York City with her husband and three sons.
<strong>Allie Lewis Clapp</strong>
As an economics major at Yale, it didn’t occur to Allie to pursue a career in food. The
turning point came the summer before her senior year, which she spent at Tante Marie’s
Cooking School in San Francisco, learning more about her favorite hobby, cooking.
After graduating, Allie followed her true calling to Paris, where she earned her Grand
Diplôme at Le Cordon Bleu and took a position as a stagiaire at Restaurant Arpège,
Alain Passard’s Michelin 3-star restaurant. Previously, she worked in New York
restaurants such as Mesa Grill and Bolo, ran her own catering business and was a special
event planner for Tentation Special Events Catering.
When Allie isn’t in the kitchen at work, she enjoys cooking for her new husband and
friends at her home in Greenwich Village.
<strong>Margot Olshan</strong>
Margot began her professional cooking career in 1996 when she attended Peter Kump’s
New York Cooking School (now the Institute of Culinary Education) in New York City.
As part of her education, she held an externship at Mario Batali’s Po Restaurant in New
York City, and subsequently worked at The Elms Restaurant and Tavern in Ridgefield,
CT for Chef Brendan Walsh.
In 1998, Margot joined Martha Stewart Living Television where she was the commissary
chef for six years, servicing the television staff and crew at the Westport, CT television
studio. While there, she also worked for Martha in off-premise catering and appeared
on her show. During this time, Margot was cast as one of five hosts for <em>Everyday
Food</em>. She has also worked as a caterer and a personal chef for a number of
luminary clients.
Margot's first independent venture was as chef/co-owner of the SoNo Baking Co. and
Café in South Norwalk, CT. She has since opened her own restaurant, the well-received
Margot Café and Wine Bar in Stamford, CT.
In 2005, Margot was chosen as one of 50 alumni inducted into the ICE Culinary Hall of
Achievement.
<strong>Sarah Carey</strong>

her deep fund of knowledge about food on MSLO’s radio and television programs.
Sarah also contributed to <em>Martha Stewart’s Cooking Schoo</em>l, which hits

Growing up on a commune in Woodstock, NY, Sarah was exposed to a variety of
diverse foods and cuisine types at an early age. After receiving a bachelor of fine arts in
photography from the School of Visual Arts in New York City, Sarah was drawn to her
real passion: cooking. She received her formal training at the Culinary Institute of
America in Hyde Park, NY. Before joining Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia in 1999,
she worked as a recipe developer for cookbook writer Barbara Kafka and former New
York Times food columnist Molly O'Neil.
<strong>Emma Feigenbaum</strong>
Emma grew up in New York City and from childhood has been influenced by the food
culture of one of the most diverse cities in the world. While pursuing a bachelor of fine
arts in film and television from New York University, Emma earned her Grand Diploma
in Culinary Arts from the French Culinary Institute. After graduating from NYU, she
realized that she was ready to pursue her first love — food. Before joining “Everyday
Food” magazine in September 2006, she assisted Sheila Lukins, the renowned cookbook

recipes for the magazine and Ms. Lukins’ upcoming cookbook. In addition to her
