Early life and education

Career
Her first book, Dishing Up Vermont (2008), features recipes from contributors throughout Vermont, including farmers and restaurateurs. Medeiros began writing The Vermont Farm Table Cookbook in 2011, while writing a column for The Essex Reporter and Colchester Sun, and employed two recipe testers to assist with the collection of recipes from Vermont farmers, bakeries, and restaurants. She also collected Vermont recipes in her 2017 cookbook The Vermont Non-GMO Cookbook. For the 2015 book The Connecticut Farm Table Cookbook, Medeiros worked with co-author Christy Colasurdo to collect recipes from Connecticut farmers and chefs. Medeiros collected recipes from 45 contributors across the United States to create her 2021 book The Art of Cooking with Cannabis: CBD and THC-Infused Recipes from Across America. The Los Angeles Times praised the book for showcasing a wide range of recipes, outside the usual "tired pot-brownie cliché".
Medeiros also wrote the column "The Farmhouse Kitchen: A Guide To Eating Local" for Edible Green Mountains magazine, and has contributed to Salon. She has also worked as a guest cooking instructor in the Northeast region.
