Books by Lauren Rubin

Lauren Rubin is a graduate of the University of Michigan and the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City, where she earned degrees in both the culinary arts and restaurant management. Following graduation, she cooked at the restaurants Union Pacific and Tribeca Grill, then moved on to working in the food department at Good Housekeeping magazine. She is now a personal chef along with her husband, Phil Rubin. Together, they own 2 Peas & A Pot, a Manhattan catering company that specializes in private parties. They have expanded from cooking, staffing, and planning intimate, elegant affairs to doing the same for larger, equally high-end dinners, buffets, and cocktail parties for more than 100 people. Their events have included dinners for Indiana senator and presidential candidate Evan Bayh, former treasury secretary Henry Paulson, Broadway producer Roger Berlind, Gloria Steinem, and others. Their in-home cooking classes have been featured in the Wall Street Journal, and they were the subjects of a full-length feature in BizBash magazine, the premier trade magazine for event planners.
