Chiana is the kitchen appliances editor at Homes & Gardens. With a longstanding interest in non-toxic living, her work focuses on helping readers make practical, informed choices for their homes, especially when it comes to everyday kitchen and household essentials. Much of her content is shaped by hands-on experience, testing products and ideas in real home settings to assess how they perform in day-to-day life.
Outside of work, the kitchen is the heart of her home. Having cooked and baked since childhood with her baking-extraordinaire Mom, and taking casual cooking classes from as young as 12, she spends most weekends experimenting with new recipes and baking up a storm for her friends.Since then, she has spent time cooking with Le Creuset's expert chefs and product testers.
Living in a chronically ill gym-centric household means she is always on the lookout for health-conscious, non-toxic options for her cooking space, helping others to create healthier habits, too.
