About me:
Author of seven books in the The Complete Idiot's Guide and Everything series, a regular column in the Los Angeles fine living magazine The Arroyo Monthly, and creator of Culinarymasterclass.com, Leslie Bilderback uses her years as a chef and culinary instructor to inform her unique perspective on food writing.
After working her way through college as a waitress and line cook while studying Music and Art History at the University of Colorado, Bilderback realized that food was her true calling. She returned to her home in the Bay Area and enrolled in the California Culinary Academy. There, she apprenticed under world-renowned Pastry Chefs Bo Friberg and Robert Jorin, and graduated with honors in 1988.
Bilderback began her professional career as pastry chef, and played a major role in several of California's most well-regarded and innovative restaurants, including Sedona in Berkeley, Postrio and Zola's in San Francisco, and Angeli and Georgia in Los Angeles. She joined the original faculty of what is now the California School of Culinary Arts in 1995, and as Executive Chef ushered the school into partnership with Le Cordon Bleu. A Certified Master Baker, and finalist on Team USA of the 2002 Coup du Monde de la Boulangerie, Chef Bilderback began her writing career in collaboration with Sherry Yard of Spago on the James Beard Award-winning The Secrets of Baking (Houghton Mifflin, 2003), and has been writing about food steadily ever since. Chef Bilderback has been profiled in the San Francisco Chronicle, Culinary Trends Magazine, CookingSchools.com, Bridges USA, and Living Fit Magazine. She is ranked as one of the top 50 chef instructors in the nation on Chef2Chef.com, and continues to teach in addition to her writing. Through the USDA's Nutrition Network, Bilderback teaches healthy cooking and eating to kids in the Los Angeles Unified School District. She also teaches advanced culinary techniques to sailors through the US Navy's Adopt–a-Chef program. In the fall season of 2008 Bilderback will be profiled on Chef Michael Smith's Canadian Food Network program Chef Abroad as they follow her on a deployment with the aircraft carrier USS George Washington. Bilderback lives in Southern California with her husband, two children, and two dogs.
