About the Author

Lee was inspired by her mother Sally’s love of cooking and entertaining to gather friends and family together over great meals and conversation. In fact, Lee held her first dinner party at the age of 16. Throughout the years, Lee has provided recipes, menu advice and cooking tips to friends seeking uncomplicated and delicious ideas for home entertaining. In November of 2009, Lee published A Well-Seasoned Kitchen®, the cookbook she co-authored with her mother. The book has received numerous rave reviews and praise and has been featured in both local and national press. A Well-Seasoned Kitchen® was awarded a “Living Now” gold medal, given to books that “help people lead better lives”. Lee teaches cooking classes at the Denver Botanic Gardens, EVOO Marketplace, at various cooking schools around the country and in people’s homes. She is frequently invited to conduct cooking demonstrations by local broadcast stations and cable networks as well as at culinary events. Lee speaks publicly on the loving story behind the book, to both large and small groups. She was the keynote speaker at the Christian Living Communities annual fundraising dinner and also one of four featured authors at the Assistance League of Cincinnati’s annual luncheon. Lee is also a principal with Marbalee Media, a video production company she formed with the Emmy-award winning producer Deren Abram. As a producer and writer, she focuses on the development of travel, food and cooking lifestyle content. Lee’s professional career prior to immersing herself in the culinary arts was in the cable television business. She held senior executive positions with Charter Communications, United Pan-Europe Communications (a Liberty Media subsidiary), Rifkin&Associates and United Cable Television, and consulted with cable TV operators and programmers around the world, providing marketing, new business development and strategic planning advice. Lee has relied heavily on her marketing and product development skills in the creation and promotion of her current endeavors.
