I like to tell stories. I imagine that my pen is like a magic wand, and I can use words to change things.
Sometimes I write stories that make people think. Other times I write things that make people hungry. Often, I write things that make people cry. On a good day, I can do all three at the same time!
I have written for Saveur, Eating Well, The Washington Post, Seattle magazine, VegNews, USA Today, The Seattle Times, Sip Northwest, Northwest Travel & Life, The Guardian, Paste, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, St. Louis magazine and more.
My areas of interest include Filipino, Icelandic and Bosnian cuisine, and pastry from around the world. I’m especially interested in cultures that forage for what many of us may consider odd or easily discarded here in the U.S. I also love vegan and sustainable, organic cuisine and related topics such as composting and farming.

Stefanie is an excellent writer. Of course, she has mastered technical writing skills but even more than that, Stefanie has the heart to write from a place we all wish we could access. Her words touch a place not every writer can find, combining her writing skill with her ability to see her subject with a thoughtful and penetrating eye.
I first met Stefanie 14 years ago when she was a student in my writing class at Washington University in St. Louis. Even in a class of exceptionally talented, highly motivated individuals (Washington University is perennially in the top 15 colleges in the U.S. according to the U.S. News surveys), Stefanie stood out for her talent and her passion for writing. Subsequently I have followed her work in industry and for local and national publications. She is dedicated and meticulous and has, if possible, increased the passion for her craft that I first saw in her in the classroom.
