Renee Casteel Cook is a lifelong ice cream lover and recovering advertising industry account executive turned freelance writer, always with a focus on food and beverage. To balance out all of her diligent “research,” Renee runs, both for exercise and to keep up with her three lovely little girls, ages six and two (yep, twins!), all in training to enjoy eating equally as much as their mother. Thankfully, Renee not only married into a last name befitting a food writer, but theman who came with it lives up to the title, as her husband, Jim, is the head chef of the house. A Chicago native now based in the heart of the “Heart of It All,” Renee embraced the diverse food scene in Columbus through her 2016 title The Columbus Food Truck Cookbook and is excited to expand to cities and small towns throughout the state in this guide to Ohio ice cream. reneecasteelcook.com
