Stella Parks

I'm a graduate of the CIA (the other one), and a full-time baking nerd for Serious Eats. I like cheap butter, expensive chocolate, rainbow sprinkles, and buttermilk. My latest recipes and experiments are always on Instagram. I'm the author of BraveTart: Iconic American Desserts, which is like a cookbook crossed with an episode of Drunk History, except I'm hopped up on sugar, not booze. Usually.
