Alana Chandler (she/they) is a Chicagoan and Japanese-Jewish student studying Materials Science and Engineering. Chandler is interested in cooking and food justice. Since their first year of high school, Chandler has run a baking blog @chow.by.chandler and especially loves making babka, granola and anything with matcha powder.

Having experienced feelings of both invisibility and hypervisibility as a Jew of Color, they hope this cookbook will serve as a resource for others to connect through and celebrate our multifaceted identities.
