About the author
Jekka Kuhlmann grew up in a mixed-race, Chinese-American household on an expat compound in the Middle East, where she was surrounded by individuals of nearly 40 nationalities-all of whom had different backgrounds, ethnicities, religious beliefs, and dumplings in their lunch boxes. An avid traveler who has been to more than 20 countries, she loves to experience the diversity of the world through something that unites us all: food! When she's not exploring, Jekka works in sales for technology start-ups and her own consulting agency for fitness and wellness brands. She divides her time between San Francisco, California, and Kauai, Hawaii.
Born and raised in a bi-racial family in upstate New York, Krissy Kuhlmann'supbringing danced across Korean and American cultures with food at the center of the experience. As an adult, she has sampled street food in Saigon, sashimi in Tokyo, goat in the Kenyan bush, braii cheese in Cape Town, chicken wings in Buffalo, and crab cakes in Maryland-to name just a few!-and she firmly believes that food is the best way to connect with a culture. When she's not steaming up a plate of dumplings, Krissy can be found exploring the outdoors with her husband, two young children, and dog. She lives in Burlington, Vermont.
Haley Hazell is a professional food stylist, recipe developer, and graphic designer. She grew up in a Jewish household in Los Angeles, where her earliest culinary experiences were defined by global flavors; fresh, seasonal produce; and family time spent gathered around the table. Haley worked as a graphic designer for many years before attending the San Francisco Culinary School. She went on to work at Good Eggs (an online grocery and meal-kit service) before starting her own business food styling and creating content, recipes, and packaging design for food brands. She lives in San Diego with her husband and daughter.
