Lindsey Cook from Dallas, Texas is a cooking enthusiast. While professionally she is a CPA for a publicly traded company, her real passion is in preparing meals for her friends and family and writing for her cooking blog "Pardon the Dog Hair." Lindsey comes from a family of great cooks and was blessed to have a mother who prepared three meals a day for her growing up. In the last year, Lindsey discovered the fun in cooking contests and has won several trips to New York and has been featured in magazines because of her recipes. When she is not cooking, you can find her training for marathons or volunteering with animal rescue groups, two of her other passions. A fun antidote, Lindsey is engaged to be married just one week after the World Food Championships. She cannot wait to be married to her future husband, Wes and would love to take home a cash prize to help with their honeymoon in Belize.
