Dixie Caviar is for hire! I am currently available for recipe testing, recipe development, feature writing, food photography, culinary demonstrations, and more!

My educational qualifications include an honor’s degree in economics with a minor in finance from Auburn University, and a culinary diploma from New School of Cooking in Los Angeles. Former work experience includes stints as a celebrity wedding & event coordinator, executive assistant to a well-known California cookbook author, and various front and back-of-house positions in high-end restaurants (including two years under a James Beard award winning chef). I currently contribute recipes to The Kitchn and Cooking Channel, and teach classes at the Atlanta/Phipps Plaza Sur La Table.
