About

Keia Mastrianni is a writer, cookbook author, baker, and photographer based in Western North Carolina.

Her writing has appeared in Eater, TASTE, Whetstone Magazine, the Local Palate, Bon Appetit, Gravy, VICE Munchies, and Bake from Scratch among others.

She is the co-author of Bruce Moffett Cooks, a cookbook written with Charlotte chef Bruce Moffett, published by UNC-Press in early 2019.

Her interest in storytelling, regional ingredients, and good food folks has brought her into relationship with a North Carolina coastal community, and immigrant-owned food businesses in Charlotte, North Carolina to collect oral histories. She is the former editor of Crop Stories, an independent ‘zine focused on stories from the agricultural South.

She is the baker behind the small-batch pie company, Milk Glass Pie where she bakes from her farm-based cottage kitchen.
