Title: Test Kitchen Assistant

Amanda Holstein fell in love with baking at the age of 6, and continued growing her passion through culinary school and working in bakeries for over 10 years.

Amanda Holstein has worked at multiple well-known restaurants and bakeries in the Orlando, Florida area. She recently joined the Dotdash Meredith team as a Test Kitchen Assistant.
