Jill Waldbieser is a journalist, recipe developer, and lover of food with 20 years’ experience in the health, wellness, and lifestyle space, featuring in many publications such as Women’s Health, Men’s Health, Cooking Light, EatingWell and Reader’s Digest. She was the Food & Nutrition Editor at Women’s Health magazine for 10 years, where she oversaw cooking, nutrition, and weight loss content for the magazine, including its annual Best Packaged Foods for Women feature. She has had the pleasure of cooking in Italy, Alaska, and the Campbell Soup Test Kitchen, and has prepared and eaten everything from octopus to crickets to plant-based tuna.
When she’s not cooking or eating for work or pleasure, she can be found volunteering at her local farmers market or blood donation center, practicing American Sign Language, which she uses to communicate with her son, who is deaf, or on a river somewhere, looking for rapids to kayak.
