Kelly Janke
Director, Culinary Production
Kelly oversees the culinary production team and day-to-day operations at Epicurious and Bon Appétit. And, when she’s not doing her regular job, she develops recipes for the brands, like soft and squishy Make-Ahead Dinner Rolls and good-for-all-occasions Easy Pasta Salad. Previously, she originated the staff culinary producer role for the BA video team. Kelly has a wide range of culinary media experience: working at ABC’s The Chew, TODAY, and Martha Stewart, and has assisted many of television’s top food stylists. In addition, she taught recreational cooking classes at Havens Kitchen and has been a private chef. Kelly is proudly from Minnesota, where she received her bachelor’s degree in business management before attending culinary school in NYC, and will talk your ear off about how much she loves wild blueberry picking. You can catch her every Sunday at her local farmers market, dropping off her compost and loading up on fresh produce. She’s likely to make you laugh with her pronunciation of “bag.” It’s a Midwestern thing; you betcha!
