Ian Knauer joined
Gourmet in 2001 and became one the cooks in the
Gourmet test kitchens. He wrote extensively for
Gourmet and Gourmet.com until the close of the brand in late 2009. He now contributes to several food-related publications, including his own
blog, and when not in a kitchen, he is either hunting, fishing, tending his beehives, or foraging for dinner wherever it can be found.
