Contributors

Contributors to Good. Food. Stories. come from a wide community of good eaters around the world:

	Tessa Barber works as a librarian in Pittsburgh, PA but spends much of her time thinking about food. Two kitchen items she doesn’t want to live without are her micrograter and her roommate’s immersion blender.
	West Coast native Meredith Brown has spent most of the past five years in Europe as a graduate student at the Courtauld Institute of Art. When she’s not working on her dissertation, she’s likely downing a double espresso, sipping a martini, nibbling some pork belly, or otherwise exploring the culinary delights of her present locale. Having trotted from London to Paris to London to D.C. and back to London, Meredith is now happily settled in Brooklyn with her books and her barbecue.
	C.C. the Culinarily Clueless serves up amuse bouches of naive gastronomy sprinkled with all the insight of a reluctant foodie living in the gustatory mecca of San Francisco. Find her on Twitter: @CulClueless.
	Christine Galanti is a kangaroo-cooking, $5-Polish-dinner-hunting, baby-octopus loving freelance writer in Brooklyn, NY. Find her on Twitter: @Chris_Galanti.
	A transplanted New Yorker living in London, Irene Kopitov loves nothing more than a whole grilled fish and a Negroni on a sunny summer day. Since there aren’t too many of those in her new home, she is learning to love the sprawling farmers markets and afternoon pints. Born in the Ukraine and raised in Boston, Irene is a publicist specializing in design and the arts.
	Rebecca Peters-Golden lives in Philadelphia, where she splits her obsessive energy among cooking, traveling, and dreaming of opening a cooperative science fiction and fantasy bookstore with an attached bakery. She has a Ph.D. in English from Indiana University and teaches at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
	Caitlin Thornton is a writer living in Brooklyn. In her so-called free time, the Chicago native rides her bike around in six-inch heels, writes about dating and relationships, and eats and drinks a little too decadently. Thornton specializes in killer goat cheese omelettes and perfectly poured gin-and-juices. Follow her on Twitter: @caitlinthornton.
