Jane Black is one of those people who wakes up thinking about food—and is still thinking about it when she goes to bed. She’s been lucky enough to marry her passion with her work. Since 2004, she has covered food politics, trends and sustainability for outlets including The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and Eating Well. Jane also is executive producer of Longer Tables with José Andrés and co-host of the James Beard award-winning show Pressure Cooker. In her free time, she cooks, eats, and travels to eat—most often to Italy, her favorite country in the world.
