As a co-host of the weekly PBS cooking series, Everyday Food, Margot Olshan shares easy recipes and tips for creating meals that are as simple as they are delicious.

Margot began her professional cooking career in 1996 when she attended Peter Kump's New York Cooking School (now the Institute of Culinary Education) in New York City. As part of her education, she held an externship at Mario Batali's Po Restaurant in New York City, and subsequently worked at The Elms Restaurant and Tavern in Ridgefield, CT for Chef Brendan Walsh.

In 1998, Margot joined Martha Stewart Living Television where she was the commissary chef for six years, servicing the television staff and crew at the Westport, CT television studio. While there, she also worked for Martha Stewart in off-premise catering and appeared on her show. During this time, Margot was cast as one of five hosts for the weekly PBS series, Everyday Food, which is broadcast nationally, in Canada and in Japan. She has also worked as a caterer and a personal chef for a number of luminary clients.

Margot's first independent venture was as chef/co-owner of the SoNo Baking Co. and Cafe in South Norwalk, CT. She has since opened her own restaurant, the well-received Margot Cafe and Wine Bar in Stamford, CT.

In 2005, Margot was chosen as one of 50 alumni inducted into the ICE Culinary Hall of Achievement.
