Holly Herrick

Holly Herrick is a bona fide lover of delicious food and life in general. Born in Alabama and raised in New England, Herrick's roots hail back to rural life. Later, she attended Boston College as a journalism major and began her food-writing career with a Grande Diplome in pastry and cuisine from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, France. Holly is a first-place national award-winning restaurant critic and food writer. She's written features and columns for many magazines, including Southern Living, Lowcountry Living, Bon Appetit and more. She is the author of ten cookbooks, all with an emphasis on French technique, seasonal cooking and freshness. Holly's latest cookbook, The New Charleston Chef's Table Cookbook (Globe Pequot Press), was released in May, 2018. Holly is also an adjunct professor for the ChefsGO program at Thomas Nelson Community College. Holly resides happily in beautiful Williamsburg, VA with her bouncy cat, Mr. Purrfect, who likes to be walked around the neighborhood as if he were a dog, Sid, a dandy country cat, and her adorable chocolate cocker spaniel Rocky Rocken Roll. All will be featured in her recently self-published Kindle series, Wonder Pets World, including the debut children's (Young Reader Chapter Book, age 5 to 9) book, Mr. Purrfect Comes Home.
