They next worked together in 2009, after Woolever had a child and decided to leave her job as a magazine editor. Woolever and Bourdain first met in 2002 when her former employer Mario Batali recommended her to him as a recipe tester and editor for his first book of recipes, Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook.
