Growing up, Susan Bingaman might have been deemed the pickiest eater this side of anywhere, but the pages of her grandmother’s copies of Gourmet and Bon Appetit changed all that. There was more to life than American cheese sandwiches with only yellow mustard on white bread, after all. She went on to become a Food Scientist fulfilling a dream of working in a test kitchen. Since then, Susan’s been a Leite’s Culinaria tester since June 2004 and was part of the team of testers for David’s cookbook, The New Portuguese Table.
She works for a major midwestern grocery store chain figuring nutrition facts for prepared foods. She lives in central Iowa with her husband and son where she hopes to break the chain of picky eating. There’s always a batch of Banana Bread Muffins in the freezer and, she’s quick to slather Cream Cheese Frosting on most everything, except when they are having Bucatini all’Amatriciana for dinner.
