A graduate of St. John’s College in Santa Fe, Alana Chernila craves green chile almost every day. She is the author of three cookbooks, The Homemade Pantry, The Homemade Kitchen, and most recently Eating From the Ground Up. Chernila keeps a blog of the same name, which she started in her late twenties in response to questions like, "what do I do with kohlrabi?" while working at the farmers’ market to pay for her CSA share. She's written for Martha Stewart Living magazine and Food52, among others.
