Hi, I’m Jaime!

I am a chef, baker, and writer based in Hudson, New York. My work focuses on sustainable, seasonal, and accessible food systems, highlighting the ways in which food expresses identities and bridges cultural, political, and economic divisions.

I am a graduate of the Food Studies program at New York University, and have spent the last 8 years in a wide range of food establishments in both front of house and back of house roles. I am currently working as the head chef at Hawthorne Valley’s farm store, and have also worked as a freelance writer, with work published in Grub Street, Eater, and more.

I believe firmly in the power of food to bring people together and help share our stories. Through connections to agriculture and the environment, as well as studies of social and cultural dynamics, I hope to fundamentally change the way we think and talk about food from the ground up.
