Tricia Manzanero Title: Recipe Tester and Developer Education: New York University, Culinary Institute of America Tricia Manzanero Stuedeman is a recipe tester and developer for Dotdash Meredith, specializing in baking and pastry but with an all-encompassing love for all things food-related. Since entering food publishing in 2018, she has developed over 1,200 original recipes, collaborated on cookbooks, produced videos, and crafted culinary classes for over a dozen major print, food, and lifestyle brands. Tricia’s love and respect for food and culture started early, baking with her grandma and gathering around a table with her large, insatiably hungry family. More than sustenance, food was always a powerful—and tasty—means of telling stories, making memories, and caring for others. Tricia’s culinary experience spans nearly a decade in the food industry, including time spent as a line cook at Blue Hill at Stone Barns and a senior baker at Hawthorne Valley Farm Bakery. When not covered with flour, butter, and chocolate, Tricia loves to travel to new culinary landscapes with her husband, Stu, conduct donut-related field research, and take picturesque hikes, probably still dreaming about her next meal.Her kitchen must-have is a kitchen scale or her Thermapen thermometer. Education Tricia graduated summa cum laude from New York University with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. She then attended Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park, receiving her Associate Degree in Culinary Arts. About Allrecipes Home cooks are our heroes; it's as simple as that.
