Nancy Leson learned much of what she knows about food during her first career: waiting tables at some of the country’s finest restaurants. Seattle knows her as the mouth that scored — for the better part of two decades — as restaurant critic and food columnist for the Seattle Times, and as Food for Thought commentator for NPR member-station KNKX. These days she teaches cooking classes throughout Puget Sound, hosts international tours with the University of Washington Alumni Association and Bainbridge Island-based Earthbound Expeditions, and helps end hunger one loaf at a time with the non-profit baking brigade Community Loaves.
