Gaby Dalkin

Gaby Dalkin is a recognized cookbook author, private chef, entrepreneur, and food and lifestyle writer. She gained prominence through her website, “What’s Gaby Cooking,” which she launched in 2009 while working as a private chef during her schooling. The platform grew into a resource for recipes and lifestyle content, establishing her presence in the culinary industry.

Over her career, Dalkin has published multiple cookbooks. Her most recent work, “What’s Gaby Cooking: Eat What You Want: 125 Recipes for Real Life,” released on April 28, 2020, focuses on balanced eating without strict rules. This book, like her previous titles “What’s Gaby Cooking: Everyday California Food” and “What’s Gaby Cooking: Take It Easy,” reflects her approach to accessible and flavorful cuisine. In late 2023, she launched Dalkin&Co., a private label pantry resource featuring her own blends, further expanding her brand.

Her work has been featured in various national publications, including People, Wired, Glamour, The New Yorker, Better Homes & Gardens, Williams-Sonoma, and the Los Angeles Times. Her career trajectory demonstrates a consistent focus on making cooking enjoyable and approachable for a wide audience, moving from one-on-one culinary services to broad public engagement through her digital platforms and published works. She currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband, Thomas, and daughter, Poppy.
