Amy Rosen is a Toronto-based freelance journalist and the new food editor for House & Home magazine.

She writes regularly for publications including Food & Wine, Cooking Light, Maclean's, enRoute and The Globe and Mail and National Post newspapers, and has a food blog at www.thenationalnosh.blogspot.com. In an unrelated bit of news, a story that Amy wrote appears in the American anthology, the "Best Food Writing 2008".

"Indigestion", Amy's first novel, will be released in spring, 2011.

She has a food column in the National Post (on Wednesdays in the Arts & Life section) called "Dish", which chronicles her unique culinary experiences across Canada. Amy's travel feature column in the National Post runs twice a month in the Weekend Post section.

She is a member of Les Dames D'Escoffier International, N.A.T.J.A. (North American Travel Journalists Assoc.) and TMAC (Travel Media Association of Canada). And, not that she's exactly proud of it, but Amy was judged one of Toronto's 'Worthy Thirty' bachelorettes of 2006 in the National Post. Fun and humiliating. Yay! What's more, in 2009 Post City Magazines deemed her one of Toronto's Top 20 Foodies. (Huzzah!)

Rosen began her career as a freelance writer and cookbook author, fresh out of school. Armed with a BA in English from McGill University, a Bachelor of Journalism from the University of King's College, and a certificate in Basic Cuisine from Le Cordon Bleu, she put her knowledge in a blender and published her first cookbook, Generation Eats. She followed that up with Cook This (Random House), SPAtopia (Dundurn Press) and is currently at work on books number four and five.

Amy has cooked her way from coast to coast via live TV spots, and she also teaches the odd cooking class now and again. It's gotten so that she's only comfortable cooking in front of a crowd. Since recently overcoming her fear of public speaking she has also given talks on topics ranging from the latest spa trends to how to build your own web site.
