Lauren Cook

Lauren Cook is the Publisher and Editor of Edible Kansas City. She believes that great food is about so much more about than the food itself, but rather its power to build community.

She believes that great food can bring people together and help us to delight in moments around the table, together. A bite of fluffy and bright lemon cake covered in buttercream, or a forkful of rich, creamy truffle mashed potatoes can take us out of ourselves for a bit, food can lift the weight from our shoulders for a moment. It allows us to know others in a new way and share ourselves with others in creative ways. She is always thinking about the next great meal, and sharing it with Kansas Citians and travelers so that everyone can delight together.
