Hi! I'm Anna Schaber!
Before co-founding Garnish with Lemon, I worked in corporate communications, where I connected with people through clear, honest messaging. But my true love? Good food - the kind that brings people together and actually works in real life. Now I get to combine both: storytelling and flavor. I write and photograph our recipes the same way I'd share them with a friend - tested, approachable, and always worth making.
What I bring to the kitchen
- A background in communications, which helps me write recipes like I'm texting a friend from the grocery store
- 13+ years of recipe development, backed by a sharp editorial eye for what works in real kitchens (and what doesn't)
- Food photography expertise that makes dishes look delicious and doable - no over-styled intimidation here
WHY I DO THIS
"For me, it's not just about sharing recipes - it's about building trust. Our readers know that if we recommend something, it's been tested, it works, and it'll taste great. It's like getting a solid tip from a friend, not just another random recipe from the internet."

my favorite recipe!
Coconut Lemon Bars
This Coconut Lemon Bars recipe takes a family favorite dessert and gives it a tropical twist. These tangy lemon squares are easy to make and freeze well, but it's the marriage of coconut crust and velvety filling that makes these lemon bars stand out from the rest. A must make for any lemon lover!
