Stephanie has done a few things in life. She has sold women shoes and frozen yogurt as well as smelly, expensive body lotion and smellier, even more expensive cheese. She has worked on a Jacques Pepin cooking show and been a cookbook editor. She has written about books, food,  parenting, TV, vampire dating habits, cocktail trivia, and picky eating.She has lived in Washington, D.C., Minneapolis, Ann Arbor, England, Boston, and San Francisco.She has attended a swank ball at University of Cambridge with Prince Charles (not that he was her date or anything just that he was also invited) and rebuilt trails with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy.Now she writes picture books surrounded by a few kids, a few cats, and one husband. She loves reading books and watching television shows in equal numbers and thinks everyone should try pairing Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups with bourbon. She also sincerely apologizes for bringing the word "cheftestant" into existence.
