About Kerstin Kühn

I\'m an award-winning journalist and food writer with over 15 years of experience in the industry. My career has taken me around the world, exploring diverse culinary landscapes and sharing stories through various publications, from trade bibles to glossy consumer magazines. Food has always been a passion of mine, not just in writing but in a hands-on way as well. In 2016, I founded Little Foodie Club, a revolutionary baby food delivery service based in Los Angeles. The idea behind it was to help train infants\' palates by introducing them to a variety of flavors early on, setting the stage for a lifetime of healthy eating. LFC grew from a local to a national brand in under five years, winning awards and celebrity endorsements along the way. Alongside my entrepreneurial endeavors, I continue to write for both publications and brands, covering food, travel, lifestyle, and health and wellness. My work ranges from in-depth features and profiles to trend analysis, and a range of copywriting work both for campaigns and web content as well as executive summaries for winning proposals. In December 2025 I stepped into the role of editor in chief of the National Culinary Review, the flagship magazine of the American Culinary Federation. After more than a decade of freelancing, this move felt like the right step at this point of my career journey and I\'m thrilled to join such an iconic organisation. At my core, I am a storyteller, who loves connecting with people and sharing their unique journeys. Whether it\'s through journalism, business, or creative content, storytelling is what drives me; and I’m always excited to see where the next chapter takes me.
