Hilary Cable is a 4th generation Californian whose cooking and baking interests have been shaped by the many communities and cuisines that share this place we call Southern California. She was raised in Altadena and recently has returned to her home town from a couple of years in the Inland Empire. Hilary is a newspaper copy editor and freelance writer and editor who never met a dog she didn't like and is a ravenous reader in a wide variety of genres. Her favorites, though, are cookbooks and restaurant tell-alls. She is also a marathon walker and raises money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
