Melissa Gray
Melissa Gray is a senior producer for All Things Considered.
Gray got her start at Member station WUGA in Athens, GA. From there, she went on to report on arts and cultural stories for Peach State Public Radio in Atlanta. She joined NPR in 1999.
Years later, her determination to "learn how to really bake a damn good cake" led her to experiment on the All Things Consideredstaff. You can read all about it in her cookbook, All Cakes Considered. Melissa lives by this motto: "We have to make our own fun. Nobody else will make it for us."

Expert pickler Marisa McClellan recreates a listener's lost pickle recipe, and explains why her grandma's pickles are saltier than many modern-day versions. They're fermented, like a true kosher dill pickle. -
Every Monday, Melissa Gray bakes a different cake for her colleagues at NPR. That's nearly 50 confections over the past year, with no repeats, no mixes, no margarine, no low-fat sour cream, no faux sugar. She shares what she's learned.
