Margo True

Margo True is the food editor at Sunset magazine. Born in South Africa to American diplomat parents, she grew up in seven different countries and learned early on that food can be an instant doorway to a new place. Before Sunset, she was the executive editor at Saveur and a senior editor and writer at Gourmet. She has won four James Beard journalism awards for her food writing, including one for Sunset's One-Block Diet blog (oneblockdiet.sunset.com)—a project that launched a book, The One-Block Feast. Her fellow award-winning bloggers and co-authors are: Erika Ehmsen, Sunset’s copy chief and a member of the One-Block project’s Team Wine; Elizabeth Jardina of Team Chicken; Sunset test garden coordinator Johanna Silver; production coordinator Margaret Sloan, who blogs for Team Bee; recipe editor Amy Machnak; and head gardener Rick LaFrentz, who leads Team Beer. Additional contributors to The One-Block Feast include Kathleen Norris Brenzel, Sunset’s garden editor; associate food editor Elaine Johnson; test kitchen coordinator Stephanie Dean; senior editor Rachel Levin; executive editor Christine Ryan; and Brianne McElhiney, editorial assistant.
