Whitney MillerWhitney Miller is no stranger to the Epicurean Theatre or the spotlight. This southern belle visited the Epicurean Theatre earlier this year and produced an amazing cooking class! She was also crowned the champion of Season 22of MasterChef. For those of you that don’t know, Whitney has southern roots, as well as international culinary experience. All of her home-cooked recipes are exciting, accessible and “company-worthy.”

Her recipes and articles have appeared in PeopleWomen’s HealthMasterChefClean Eating, and Cooking Light magazines, and her cooking demonstrations have been featured in the MasterChef app. We’re particularly fans of Whitney as she participated as a celebrity judge for the Epic Chef Showdown, which was staged at the Epicurean and benefited Feeding Tampa Bay!
