Karlynn Johnston
I’m a busy mom of two, wife & cookbook author who loves creating fast, fresh meals for my little family on the Canadian prairies. Karlynn Facts: I'm allergic to broccoli. I've never met a cocktail that I didn't like. I would rather burn down my house than clean it. Most of all, I love helping YOU get dinner ready because there's nothing more important than connecting with our loved ones around the dinner table!

Karlynn is a cook, baker and bestselling author with Appetite by Penguin Random House.
She has been sharing recipes online since 2009 when she started The Kitchen Magpie and works from her home studio kitchen where you will find her showcasing her collection of vintage bakeware and decor.

A Bit About Me
I live with my two kids, two cats, two dogs, and one husband in the Canadian prairies. My nickname has been Magpie since I was a little girl, and for good reason. I collect recipes, shiny kitchen toys, pretty retro kitchenware and restaurant experiences like a magpie.
Have a question? Drop me a line, I’d love to hear from you.
