Lynn Clark
Lynn Clark started cooking as an “intern” in her mother's home kitchen in western Massachusetts. After a career in publishing and consulting, she found herself an intern again—this time in Christopher Kimball’s kitchen at Cook’s Country magazine while studying at the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts. She is a former associate editor of Cook’s Country magazine and co-executive chef of the PBS television series Cook's Country from America’s Test Kitchen.

Josh Mamaclay
Josh Mamaclay has been fascinated by flavor since he first dove into the back of the pantry when he was 10 years old. His passion for food brought him to Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island, where he earned his bachelor's degree in culinary arts and food service management. Since then, Josh has worked in a handful of restaurants, which led him to his true calling: creating memorable experiences of culinary exploration in the home kitchen. Josh currently develops recipes for plant-based meal delivery services Purple Carrot and TB12. When he’s not busy cooking, you can find him taking his sweet time photographing food long before he actually eats it, adding to his list of cringe-worthy food-related band names, or strumming his ukulele.
