Gaby Dalkin

Gaby Dalkin established herself as the go-to girl for all things California with the success of her food and lifestyle website, What’s Gaby Cooking. Although she began her blog in 2009 to show off her culinary skills, it has grown to be much more than just recipes, and has since been profiled in outlets including The New Yorker, Glamour, the Los Angeles Times, Wired, People, Better Homes and Gardens, and many more. Her highly anticipated debut cookbook What’s Gaby Cooking: Everyday California Food debuted as an Amazon #1 bestseller, and she has enjoyed similar success with her follow-up titles including 2022’s Take It Easy: Recipes for Zero Stress Deliciousness. The famous foodie also has her own product line at Williams Sonoma including cheese boards, cocktail mixers, infused oils, seasoning and more.

The Los Angeles resident was working as a personal chef for several celebrities when she decided to start her blog with the help of her husband – who also became the blogs ‘tech guy’ and chief taster. Posting modern, fresh California style food with the odd touch of decadence (her world-famous Slutty Brownies, for example), her blog instantly hooked millions and became an online community. Dalkin has a strong social media presence with several million followers across Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, and she also attends food conferences where she loves to meet other foodies.
