About Jamie Miller
Jamie was born in 1963, in Okinawa, Japan, to American parents, and grew up in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Miller comes by her cooking expertise honestly; not only does she have a natural flair for cooking, she also holds a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Minnesota, and a degree in Hospitality Management from the University of Wisconsin - Stout.

When not working on recipes for her cookbooks, Miller is trying out recipes she's developed for cooking contests. She's won more than $80,000 in cash and prizes over the past eight years.

Awards she has won include the grand prize at both the 2000 Build A Better Burger Cook-Off and the 2004 Florida Citrus Cook-Off. She has prepared her award-winning recipes on television, including Live with Regis & Kelly and numerous Food Network specials, where she continues to appear. Many of her recipes have been published in cookbooks, newspapers, and such national magazines as Southern Living, Cooking Light, Cooking Pleasures and Bon Appetit.

Jamie currently lives in suburban Minneapolis Minnesota with husband Greg, the light of their life, 3 year-old daughter Jade and their beloved cat Sam. The Miller's are excitedly anticipating the adoption of their second Chinese daughter in 2008.
