About The Mom 100

Hey there, I’m Katie Workman — welcome to The Mom 100!

I’m a cookbook author, food writer for the Associated Press since 2015, and the creator of The Mom 100, where I share comforting, no-fuss recipes and kitchen tips that make cooking feel easier, more joyful, and less stressful.

Whether you’re exploring new ingredients, cooking for a crowd, or just trying to get dinner on the table without losing your mind, I’m here to help — with tested recipes, honest advice, and a big dose of encouragement.

A Bit About Me

I live in New York City, and I have two somewhat-grown sons who, thank goodness, really miss my cooking and so visit regularly. Cooking has been my lifelong passion — partly self-taught, partly learned from thousands of cookbooks and amazing chefs, and a lot from my mom. Even though I have cooked for years, both for personal and professional reasons, being in the kitchen cooking for friends and family is still my number one happy place.

I’ve written two cookbooks, The Mom 100 Cookbook and Dinner Solved!, which focus on accessible, adaptable recipes for real-life cooking. I’ve also been the Food Columnist for the Associated Press for over 10 years, writing hundreds of articles that reach hundreds of thousands of home cooks all over the country.

I love cooking with what’s in season, I embrace shortcuts like canned beans and store-bought pie crust, and I believe the best meals are the ones shared with people you love — even if someone picks out the capers.

I’m also a passionate advocate for hunger relief, serving on the boards of City Harvest and Share Our Strength. Because good food should be a joy — and a right.

What You’ll Find Here

• Reliable recipes with a comforting, everyday vibe.
• Tips for real-life cooking — because weeknights are chaos.
• Ideas for entertaining without the stress.
• Cultural and seasonal favorites (hello, Atlantic Beach Pie).
• Zero judgment, lots of encouragement.
• And sometimes I’m quite funny.

Pull up a chair. There’s always room at this table.
