ABOUT THE GUEST:
Stephanie Pierce is the founder of Picky Tongue Cooking. The project started with a strong desire to teach cooking and share her story as a chef. This evolved into her first cookbook, Picky Tongue: The Cookbook. But that wasn’t enough: as a disability specialist with dyspraxia, Stephanie wanted to create a cookbook that could be used by all. Enter “Picky Tongue: Idiotproof”, a tongue-in-cheek ode to accessible cooking. Today, Stephanie is focusing on food writing and cooking instruction alongside disability advocacy.
