About Anna
I’m a culinary instructor, food stylist, and best-selling cookbook author. I live in Austin, Texas with my husband, our two kids, and a very spoiled Golden Retriever.
Since 2013, I’ve been sharing fresh, family-friendly recipes and time-saving kitchen hacks, helping home cooks put dinner on the table with less stress and more joy.
Over the years, my approachable cooking style has built a dedicated community of home chefs. My work has been featured on The Food Network, Better Homes & Gardens, The Kitchn, Woman’s Day, and HuffPost. You also might’ve seen me in Southern Living, Real Simple, Elle Decor, and Shape Magazine.
My latest cookbook, The 30-Minute Kitchen, is a National Best Seller.
My Expertise
Growing up, I spent my weekends in the kitchen, learning the ropes from my parents mastering the art of a perfect Sunday roast and their secret homestyle chili.
As a passionate home cook and instructor, I am obsessed with the details that make a meal come together effortlessly. I believe that cooking shouldn’t be complicated to be delicious, and I’m dedicated to sharing practical techniques along the way.
Before a recipe lands on the site, I test it repeatedly in my own home kitchen to ensure it works for you on the very first try. This is why Magfen’s Kitchen has become a go-to destination for accessible, reliable, and family-friendly cooking.
My Journey
Born and raised in Chicago, IL, I put down roots in the Austin area after graduating from university with a degree in Marketing and a passion for visual storytelling.
In 2013, just two years after starting Magfen’s Kitchen as a creative outlet, I took a leap of faith and left my corporate career to turn my kitchen into my full-time office. Since then, I’ve developed, styled, and published over 800 reliable recipes and have authored three cookbooks.
Over the years, I’ve cultivated a reputation for creating accessible, fail-proof meals, ensuring that every dish you try has been refined to work in a real home kitchen before it ever reaches your table.
Each recipe includes detailed instructions and practical cooking hacks, because I want you to feel capable and inspired, whether you’re boiling water for the first time or planning a holiday feast.
