I'm an editor at Wine Enthusiast magazine and, last I checked, the only Layla Schlack in the world–certainly the only one in Connecticut, where I’ve landed. I left Brooklyn in 2012 to take an editorial position Fine Cooking magazine. After four years of eating everything, working with some of the best chefs and recipe developers in the game and developing some recipes of my own, I moved on to a position that encompasses not only food and cooking, but also entertaining, spirits, cocktails, miscellaneous other beverages and pairings. Pretty good, no? Previously, I’ve been a food-and-craft freelancer; senior (/managing, informally) editor at United’s magazine, Hemispheres and a copy editor at The Eagle-Tribune publishing company. I also copy edited at In Touch for just long enough to know that I’m not cut out for the entertainment world. I welcome feedback and questions about how to make a meal for $2.50 a head, groom a small dog, or adapt a knitting pattern–all at the same time, even! Drop me a line at layla.jasmine@gmail.com or twit me at @laylaschlack. If you are looking to contact me about Wine Enthusiast-related matters, please email lschlack@wineenthusiast.net.
