About the Author

Maggie Dorrough’s journey into the kitchens of Hollywood’s elite wasn’t scripted—it was stirred, simmered, and served with an extra helping of adventure. From her small-town roots in Colorado Springs to the glittering mansions of Los Angeles, Maggie built a career that blended her love for food with a front-row seat to some of the most iconic figures in entertainment.

After starting her professional life with America West Airlines, Maggie found herself drawn to the culinary world, first in Aspen and later in the heart of Hollywood. A chance encounter led her to work for director Penny Marshall, where she honed her skills as a private chef, serving up simple yet unforgettable meals. From there, she went on to cook for Jack Nicholson, Mariah Carey, LeAnn Rimes, and even found herself in the whirlwind of Hunter S. Thompson’s legendary parties.

Her memoir, Adventures in the Kitchen with Maggie, is more than just a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood’s dining tables. It’s a story of resilience, discovery, and the unexpected ways food connects us all—whether at a star-studded dinner party or a quiet evening in a mountain town.

Today, Maggie has stepped away from the high-profile kitchens of Hollywood to embrace a slower, more meaningful pace in Aspen, where she runs a catering business and remains a beloved fixture at the Aspen Saturday Market. When she’s not perfecting recipes or sharing stories from her extraordinary career, she can be found enjoying the simple pleasure of a home-cooked meal, proving that no matter how far life takes you, the best moments always happen around the table.
