Lidey Heuck
Editor in Residence
Lidey started her culinary journey with the inimitable Ina Garten before apprenticing with another giant of the culinary industry, Erin French, at The Lost Kitchen in Freedom, Maine. Since forging her own path, she has built a following that adores her emphasis on great ingredients and that sweet spot of practical-yet-inspiring recipes for eating well, everyday. Her first cookbook, Cooking in Real Life, published in March of 2024 to high praise and acclaim, and she shares recipes, stories, and videos on her Substack newsletter, LideyLetter, Lidey is a member of ATK's first-ever group of editors in residence, a two-year program during which she develops exclusive recipes and collaborates on video, podcast, and TV episodes with the test kitchen team. She lives alongside great produce in the Hudson Valley.
