Rebecca Staffel is the founder and Chief Tasting Officer of Deluxe Foods. Deluxe Foods artisanal preserves are created from peak-of-the-season Washington fruit following French techniques. The first cookbook editor at Amazon.com and later editor-in-chief of Amazon’s Kitchen store, Rebecca has also worked as a literary agent, representing award-winning cookbook authors.
After returning from countless vacations with a suitcase full of jam and scrubbing multiple batches of caramel off the stove from enthusiastic jelly-boiling, Rebecca realized that her love of preserves and preserving had to become a business. In Deluxe Foods, Rebecca brings together her passions for local farmers and produce, French techniques, and imaginative flavor combinations, along with a dollop of good humor.
