Lucinda Scala Quinn

Lucinda Scala Quinn is the author of eight cookbooks, including

the bestselling Mad Hungry trilogy. Her mantra is “Cook for the ones

you love, teach them to cook for themselves, and they will pass it on.”

Her passion for cooking took root growing up in an Italian American

family, which inspired her to begin cooking professionally at age

sixteen. As a late-blooming entrepreneur, she founded the Mad Hungry

kitchenware brand, which makes multi-use tools for the home cook.

For over a decade, she oversaw all food content for Martha Stewart

Living Omnimedia. She was the host of the television show Mad Hungry:

Bringing Back the Family Meal and cohost of Everyday Food on PBS.

Her radio show EatDrink on Sirius XM was an innovative precursor

to podcasts. She lives in New York City and can be followed at @
