Chef Taylor’s love for cooking started at a young age, she grew up going to organic farms with her mother to pick produce for their CSA (community sustained agriculture) share. She would then help her mom prepare and cook whatever was fresh and in season, accompanied by meat from the farm of course, for as long as she can remember.
She received her first Big Green Egg from her father at 10 years old after being told BBQ was “a man’s sport” when asking a man at a horse show how he had made his brisket. She has been perfecting her craft ever since—she even went on to work for Big Green Egg as the company's head culinary instructor/chef. In addition to her lifelong love of BBQ, Taylor also ran restaurants as executive chef, a commercial bakery, and attended school for baking and pastry.
Taylor now professionally develops recipes and creates photo and video content in addition to representing brands at events. You may have also seen her on Food Network’s "Guys Grocery Games" or "BBQ Brawl" season 2, where she was Bobby Flay’s first pick. You can find her on Instagram at @firepits_and_ovenmitts.
