Heather Miller
Food scientist turned kitchen gift authority in Chicago.
Heather Miller knows her way around a kitchen — and around a gift guide. Based in Chicago, she brings over 12 years of hands-on experience to her role as curator at GiftScores, where she covers everything from everyday cookware to specialty food finds worth gifting. A Food Science graduate from UW-Madison and a Certified Culinary Professional through the IACP, Heather has tested hundreds of products, consulted for Chicago-area kitchenware retailers, and contributed roundups to publications reaching millions of home cooks monthly. Her 200-product cookware review series drove a 38% jump in reader engagement — proof that the right recommendation genuinely matters. She owns nine cast iron skillets and isn't apologizing for any of them.
