About Lukas

I’m a veteran cookbook author, culinary content creator, recipe developer, and food stylist. My work — which primarily focuses on weeknight-friendly, and whole foods-oriented vegetarian cooking — has been featured in the New York Times, Bon Appetit, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, O Magazine, on Splendid Table, and elsewhere.

Previously, I cofounded and served as the editorial director of Jarry, which earned a James Beard Award for John Birdsall’s feature story Straight-Up Passing, and I created Made by Lukas, a Brooklyn-based line of premium veggie burgers. I also have front- and back-of-house restaurant experience, as well as working as a food stylist and camera talent for commercial and editorial video and photo shoots.

I recently started a newsletter called Family Friend, which features a new vegetable-centric recipe every week.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have a cooking question or feedback on one of my recipes. Additionally, I’m always eager to take on new projects and would love to work with you!
