Professional Expertise & Published Works
As a published author, Launie co-authored The Everything Mediterranean Slow Cooker Cookbook, where she refined her expertise in balancing traditional flavors with modern convenience. Her technical skill in recipe development has been featured in premier publications, including Salon, Fresh Magazine, and Where Women Cook.
Her work has also gained significant national recognition, with original recipes featured in the L.A. Times. Early in her digital career, Launie was honored as a “Blog of the Month” winner by Jamie Oliver, a distinction that cemented her reputation for creating accessible, high-quality content for home cooks.
Philosophy & Approach
Currently based in the suburbs of Burlington, Vermont, Launie focuses on “big food in a small kitchen.” This perspective allows her to act as a mentor for home cooks navigating limited space or equipment.
She is known for her deep understanding of spice profiles, often “pontificating” on the essential beauty of cumin, and her ability to translate complex techniques into simple, repeatable steps.
Whether she is developing healthy and unique snack recipes or sophisticated fish dishes, Launie’s goal remains the same: empowering others to create delicious, soulful meals that anyone can pull off.
Beyond the Kitchen
When she isn’t testing recipes or behind the camera, Launie can be found in her Vermont home with her husband and cats. She is a dedicated fan of Americana music, often found cooking to a soundtrack of Wilco and Son Volt albums on repeat.
