Education and early career
Wolf graduated from the Calhoun School in Manhattan and The Culinary Institute of America, worked as a chef and caterer, and as food editor for Mademoiselle and Child for 18 years. Wolf and her husband moved from New York to Portland in 2008.
Book writing
Wolf has written several children's books. Candy 1 to 20 (photography by her husband Bruce), which teaches children to read and count numbers with photographs of candy, received a Kirkus Reviews writeup that noted its "transformation of the familiar into the sweetly surprising", and a review from Publishers Weekly that called it an "especially kid-friendly approach to counting".
Her 2014 Portland, Oregon Chef's Table was described as "both as a cookbook and a restaurant guide", and a "powerful tour of Portland's current restaurant scene". The book contains a full chapter on brunch, a uniquely prominent facet of Portland's restaurant scene.
Her crowdfunded 2015 cookbook Herb: Mastering the Art of Cooking with Cannabis was coauthored with Melissa Parks, a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu in Minneapolis. It has been noted as one of the first pertaining to cooking with cannabis after legalization in several U.S. states. A National Geographic review said it rose to the challenge of improving on existing edibles lore that "just doesn't taste very good", and a New Republic review, while calling it an "ambitious attempt to bring together the weed brownie set and the dinner party set" that "aims to do for weed what Julia Child did for French cuisine" was somewhat critical of its "murky positioning somewhere between 'basics' and 'cuisine'", with short headnotes and a lack of focus on kitchen fundamentals for novice chefs.
Since 2014, she has been the food writer for The Cannabist.
