Erin Gleeson

Erin Gleeson is the New York Times best-selling author of The Forest Feast, a vegetarian cookbook based on her blog of the same name. Erin worked as a food photographer in New York City for several years before moving to a cabin in the woods near San Francisco in 2011 which inspired her blog and books. The Forest Feast is a unique cookbook/art book blend, featuring simple, colorful, vegetable based recipes that are presented visually, with minimal text. Erin's own photography, watercolor illustration and hand-lettering guide you through the steps to make each dish. The Forest Feast noterie line was released in 2015 with stationery items like journals and art prints (available on Amazon), featuring Erin's watercolors and photography. The Forest Feast for Kids, an adapted kid-friendly version of her first book, came out in February 2016, and The Forest Feast Gatherings, and entertaining book with all new recipes, will be released in September 2016. Erin also teaches photography at the college level and works as a freelance food photographer and illustrator.
