Meet the Author


Raised in the rural Pennsylvania Dutch community of Kutztown, Lenora Dannelke has eaten her fair share of shoofly pie, funnel cakes, and scrapple. She currently lives with her husband, daughter, mother-in-law, and 20,000 books in the Historic District of Allentown. The family is owned by a 90-pound adopted boxer. As a food and travel writer, she’s a regular contributor to Backpacker, Chile Pepper, Visit Florida, Pennsylvania Wine-Spirits Quarterly, Philadelphia magazine’s Home & Garden, Elegant Wedding, and many other magazines. Her Dining Out column appears each month in Berks County Living.

Lauren McCutcheon was born in, grew up outside of, and currently lives in Philadelphia. She loves it here. She is the author of A Virgin’s Guide to Everything (Warner Books, 2005) and The Right Way (David & Charles, 2006). She’s also an editor-at-large at Philadelphia magazine, former restaurant critic for Philadelphia Weekly, and former editor for the Philadelphia site of citysearch.com. In her spare time (ha!), she scouts and styles homes for Betters Homes & Gardens magazines, contributes to Every Day with Rachael Ray, does yoga, travels, volunteers for The Parkinson Council, and laments the prospect of casinos infecting her beloved city.
