Experience

Christine Fiorentino is a home chef, food writer, and culinary creative based in Montclair, New Jersey. After making the bold decision to leave a decade-long teaching career and pursue her passion for cooking and food media full-time, Christine began her second life as a 32-year-old pregnant intern on a mission to become a positive force in the food world. In just a few action-packed years, she has created Three Birds One Stove, a platform for home cooks, has been featured on Food Network's The Julia Child Challenge, The Dr. Oz Show, and Martha Stewart Living, and creates for outlets such as Better Homes & Gardens, Eating Well, Southern Living, Taste of Home, Apartment Therapy Media, Simply Recipes, and more. She is also a certified reiki therapist and incorporates holistic practices and positive energy in her approach to cooking. Christine is energized by connecting with others through food and inspiring cooks of all levels to feel inspired, excited, and confident about being in the kitchen. Cooking is Christine's love language, as she believes food is love and art, and brings us together in a way nothing else in the world can.

What's the best meal you've ever eaten?

My first dish of sautéed prawns and pan con tomate in the center or La Boqueria in Barcelona, Spain will be forever engrained in my taste buds. It forever changed the way I eat, cook, and enjoy the world of food.
