During her college days at the UW-Madison, Ali cooked for cash at fancy catered gigs and flipped burgers at Dotty Dumpling’s Dowry. Wanderlust and fluency in Swahili sent her abroad to Kenya and Somalia. Finding her way back to America, pit stops included her ancestral lands of Northern Germany and France, Italy and various Caribbean isles. Married, two boys, an old black lab and a few cats later — Ali is home and lives on the island of Martha's Vineyard. She cooks to nurture, to create. She writes passionately about food and all that it means — delving deep into our senses and our emotions.
As the founding Executive Director of Island Grown Initiative a non-profit that supports the small family farms and farmers of the island — Ali is committed to raising awareness + raising consciousness about the food that we feed to our families.
Ali was featured in the Boston Globe. Check out Edible Cape Cod's Winter 2004 interview Breaking Bread with Radio Personality Ali Berlow and she is the winner of the 2004 Tyson Fellowship for Culinary Writing awarded by the Writer's Colony at Dairy Hollow in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
