Experience

Paige Grandjean is the associate food editor at Food & Wine. Previously, she was a recipe tester and developer for Dotdash Meredith.

After graduating from college with the intent of continuing on to medical school, Paige decided that career path wasn't right for her. She pivoted to a position with the Southern Living Test Kitchen and discovered her talent for developing recipes and sharing them with the readers of more than 15 national publications.

She initially joined Dotdash Meredith as a recipe tester and developer. Her work has appeared in Food & Wine, Real Simple, Southern Living, Health, People, Cooking Light, Coastal Living, Martha Stewart Living, EatingWell, Rachael Ray, Parents Latina, Sunset and Weight Watchers.

In addition, she has created video content styled for digital platforms and has assisted with photo shoots. As a recipe tester, she modified chef recipes to be approachable for the home cook and performed nutritional analysis for recipes. She tested recipes for the Magnolia Table Volumes 2 & 3 cookbooks by Joanna Gaines and the award-winning Soul cookbook by chef Todd Richards.

Paige was named a finalist for the 2021 Eddie and Ozzie Awards for her design work on "LamiNation" in Food & Wine, and she served as a cookbook judge in 2021 for awards issued by the International Association of Culinary Professionals.
