Deb Perelman is a Food Blogger, Photographer, and Writer, known for her blog, Smitten Kitchen . She resides in East Village, New York City.

She was born and raised in the state of New Jersey. As young child she used to always keep a journal where she would transfer her thoughts. She also developed an interest in Art as she often practiced Painting and Drawing. As she grew older, she realized that art was not something ideal she would commit to as an adult.

Beside running Smitten Kitchen, she is also a freelance writer for other food publications, and a Photographer.

She has two children with husband, Alex.

Her son's name is Jacob, and her daughter's, Anna.

She graduated from George Washington University with a B.A. in Psychology and minor in Fine art. She later received her Master of Arts degree in Art therapy.

While living in New York City, she worked as an Art therapist for five years, which was a struggle financially. She also worked as a record store shift supervisor, a scrawler of “happy birthday” on bakery cakes, an art therapist and a technology reporter.

In 2003, she started a personal blog called Smitten which began after having numerous dating experiences. She then met the person whom she would end up marrying and had to change her original topic from dating to something else formidable, but she gave up writing for about three years.

In 2006, she began Smitten Kitten. She would later write a book, called The Smitten Kitchen CookBook in 2012.

She has since been covered by numerous food publications and has developed a large following on Instagram with more than 162K.

Deb likes bourbon, artichokes, french fries, things that taste like burnt sugar and baked goods with funny names.
