About the Dharma Kitchen and Carrie Havranek

Carrie H

I'm a writer and editor, cookbook author, culinary instructor, baker. I’m also a Reiki master, intuitive, yoga devotee and nature lover—that’s how OM meets YUM at the Dharma Kitchen. I believe the earth has the power to heal through its foods, trees, and medicinal herbs, flowers, and plants, but we need to heal it, too.

I have 20 years of experience as a writer and editor, much of it with food and travel. I can translate chef speak and food terms and develop recipes that work for the average home cook—or whomever needs it! I also have a keen eye for editing, and my experience ranges from editing academic manuscripts and web content and newsletters and articles and more. I can tackle your SEO problems, your newsletter needs, social media challenges, and pitch in for some marketing crisis communications, too, if need be—I can hit the ground running. I'm fast, efficient, thorough, good-natured, and responsible. I work with brands to promote their businesses and goals in the food space, too. I’m up for a project if it’s a good fit.

If I'm not at home in the kitchen, I’m at the farmers’ market, doing yoga, or walking, walking, walking outside. Some of my other favorite places include Maine, the Pacific Northwest, the middle of the woods, water, and farms.
