}}

Laurie Goldrich Wolf (born {{circa}} 1956) is an American food writer and entrepreneur. Her husband since 1984, Bruce Wolf, who is a professional photographer, sometimes collaborates with her.

Education and early career

Wolf graduated from the Calhoun School in Manhattan and The Culinary Institute of America, worked as a chef and caterer, and as food editor for Mademoiselle and Child for 18 years. Wolf and her husband moved from New York to Portland in 2008.

Book writing

Wolf has written several children's books. Candy 1 to 20 (photography by her husband Bruce), which teaches children to read and count numbers with photographs of candy, received a Kirkus Reviews writeup that noted its "transformation of the familiar into the sweetly surprising", and a review from Publishers Weekly that called it an "especially kid-friendly approach to counting".

Her 2014 Portland, Oregon Chef's Table was described as "both as a cookbook and a restaurant guide", and a "powerful tour of Portland's current restaurant scene". The book contains a full chapter on brunch, a uniquely prominent facet of Portland's restaurant scene.

Her crowdfunded 2015 cookbook Herb: Mastering the Art of Cooking with Cannabis was coauthored with Melissa Parks, a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu in Minneapolis.

Since 2014, she has been the food writer for The Cannabist.

Business

Laurie and Bruce Wolf's Portland business Laurie & MaryJane produces sweet and savory cannabis edibles.

Personal life

Wolf is a member of Portland's Jewish community. Laurie and Bruce Wolf have two children.
