Early life and education

Geller was born in Philadelphia and raised in a Jewish home in Abington, Pennsylvania. She attended Akiba Hebrew Academy High School. At New York University Geller studied Broadcast Journalism and Hebrew language and literature and graduated Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa in May 1999. Geller is a baalat teshuva, having embraced Orthodox Judaism and traditional Jewish religious practice in her early 20s.[4]

Career

Before writing her first cookbook, Geller was a writer and television producer for CNN, Entertainment News, the Food Network, and a senior writer/producer and marketing executive for HBO.[2][3][5]

In 2007, Geller published Quick and Kosher Recipes from the Bride Who Knew Nothing (ISBN 978-1-60094-053-8) (Feldheim Publishers). The book chronicles her experience of choosing Orthodox Judaism, her marriage and learning to cook. In 2010 Geller published Quick & Kosher: Meals in Minutes (Feldheim Publishers). She didn't know how to cook before she got married but learned out of necessity. In over 15 years of experience, she's published 6 books, a website with 10K recipes and a YouTube channel with over 165 million views.[6]

gollark: It's very annoying that the high-performance phone SoCs which exist have terrible IO and/or aren't sold to the SBC-making companies.
gollark: Technically, by weight, it's probably mostly metal casings and then the weird fibreglass stuff PCBs are made from.
gollark: (I plan to maybe switch over to an RK3588 SBC of some kind when they come out though. Basically the same performance on way less power. Very impressive.)
gollark: My own server is a generation behind that, and that was just randomly lying around for free?
gollark: In general.
