Allison Fishman makes home cooking fun. As the founder of The Wooden Spoon, Allison and her team of chef instructors offer private cooking lessons and parties to families and friends in their very own kitchens.

As the host of TLC's Home Made Simple, Allison traveled the country for three seasons helping families create simple, tasty home made meals. A passionate home cook, she honed her skills while working for Martha Stewart and Food Network, working with well-known food personalities as a food stylist and recipe developer. Allison was part of the editorial launch team for Everyday Food magazine, and was a member of the original Everyday Food television show cast.

Allison has also overseen the development of four cookbooks for nutrition and weight-loss leader Robert Atkins and developed recipes for cookbooks for The South Beach Diet and Chris Carmichael. Her original recipes and writings have appeared in Cooking Light, Glamour and Real Simple. At present, she is a weekly columnist for The Good Life, on TheStreet.com. She has tested recipes for James-Beard Award winning cookbook writer James Peterson, Francine Segan, and Saveur Magazine. Prior to her involvement in home cooking, Allison worked in the front of the house and the kitchen of restaurants ranging from college pubs to four-star Manhattan restaurants.

Online, Allison is the voice and expert hands for SummerKitchen.TV and HolidayCooking.TV, sponsored by Cuisinart and Whole Foods. Many of these videos appear on Hearst's new food web site, Delish.

Allison received her undergraduate degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Cornell University and a culinary degree from the Institute for Culinary Education. She's a member of various professional associations, including Slow Food and the International Association of Culinary Professionals. At present, she is a Food Studies Masters Candidate at New York University.
