Biography

Beth Lee is the kitchen-table storyteller behind the popular food blog OMG! Yummy. A seasoned marketing professional in Silicon Valley for nearly 20 years, in 2010 Beth realized she’d rather talk about pita chips than memory chips. In addition to her blog, she is a freelance food writer, and co-leads “Tasting Jerusalem,” a virtual cooking community that explores Middle Eastern cuisine through the lens of the award-winning “Jerusalem: A Cookbook” by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi (Ten Speed Press, 2012). Beth has two arugula-loving kids, a Dormant Chef husband, and a carrot-loving cockapoo. When not cooking, writing, or photographing, she is an accomplished golfer, wannabe world traveler, and grocery store geek.
