Ali Riley

Ali Riley is an Olympian, motivational speaker, certified health coach, and podcast host. She currently captains the New Zealand women’s national team and Angel City Football Club. Her soccer career has taken her all over the world, representing FC Rosengård in Sweden, Chelsea FC in England, and FC Bayern in Germany. Ali grew up in LA cooking with her mom, whom she refers to as ‘the Chinese Martha Stewart,’ and she loves how food can bring people together. While playing in Sweden, she started sharing her original recipes on social media, but it wasn’t until she met teammate Toni Pressley in 2020 that she ever considered writing a cookbook.

When she’s not on the soccer field or hosting a dinner party, you can find Ali at the beach in Malibu attempting to surf.
