Bio
Rick Rodgers
I worked with Tanya in her various positions at Condé Nast, and it was always a pleasure when our paths crossed. Her knowledge of the vast and complicated digital media field is enormous. I often heard her speak at many conferences where she was called upon to explain the arena to the masses. She always did this with amazing aplomb and grace. I'll never forget the time how she handled an unfriendly listener with tact that would make Hilary Clinton proud. She knows the national food scene like the back of her hand, and because of her talents as a cookbook writer, she can approach it from the unusual angle of being not just a commentator, but an active participant. I know that she will bring the same consummate professionalism to any project, culinary or otherwise.
