AMY ROSEN
Amy Rosen is a James Beard–nominated, award-winning journalist, editor, TV presenter, cookbook author, and cinnamon bun entrepreneur. Her work has appeared everywhere from The Globe and Mail to the American anthology Best Food Writing, and her name has become synonymous with smart, approachable food writing in Canada.
Over the years, Amy has held some exciting jobs: Editor-in-Chief of Modern Farmer, Food Editor at Chatelaine, Food Editor at House & Home, Food Network judge, and the original restaurant critic behind enRoute magazine’s iconic Air Canada's Canada's Best New Restaurants feature. She continues to contribute to Food & Wine, the Toronto Star, AFAR, Zoomer, and The Globe and Mail, among other top publications. A prolific cookbook author, Amy's newest book doesn't stray far from the kitchen, but is a rom-com novel for food-lovers called Off Menu, out with ECW Press. Amy’s previous titles include, Kosher Style ,Tender Herbs, Canada's Best New Cookbook, and Toronto Cooks—a runaway bestseller she followed up with Toronto Eats. Her writing blends curiosity, wit, and deep culinary knowledge, honed over years of storytelling, recipe developing, and eating her way across the country three times for enRoute. Amy’s path to food writing was anything but accidental. After earning a BA in English from McGill University, a Bachelor of Journalism from the University of King’s College, and a Basic Cuisine certificate from Le Cordon Bleu, she combined her passions and published her first cookbook, Generation Eats. In 2016, Amy turned her love of baking into a business with Rosen’s Cinnamon Buns. What began as a small storefront quickly grew into a national brand. By 2020, her bake-at-home buns hit grocery shelves across Canada. (Yes, you might have spotted her pitching on Dragon's Den.) Today, Amy continues to write, cook, and champion the stories that shape how we eat. |
