Charmian Christie

Charmian Christie is a food writer, recipe developer, and cookbook author. She’s also the voice behind the popular food blog, TheMessyBaker.com, where she shares recipes and tales of culinary woe, and the author of a cookbook by the same name, The Messy Baker. Knowing mistakes happen to the best of us, she developed an app called Kitchen Disasters & Fixes to get home cooks out of any culinary corner. @charmian_c
