Award-winning author Jeanette Hurt explores culture through the lens of food and drink. Whether she’s delving into the history of gin and tonics, developing healthy yet tasty burger recipes or biking through the back roads of the Loire Valley, Jeanette takes readers on a delicious journey that inspires them to create a good life.

She has written for dozens of publications about food, drink and travel, including The Four Seasons Magazine, TheKitchn.com, Wine Enthusiast, and Esquire.com. When she’s not writing, developing recipes or traveling, she teaches food, drink and writing classes. She lives in Milwaukee with her family, and she often can be found walking along Lake Michigan with her husband, their son and their dog or mixing cocktails at her backyard tiki bar.
