Hi, I’m Stephanie, the creator and author behind Garden of Mirth. I’m a home cook with a deep love for cooking from scratch, baking with sourdough, and growing as much of our food as I can right at home.
My passion is creating easy, wholesome meals that the whole family will love—whether that looks like a flaky homemade biscuit, long-fermented sourdough bread, or the most delicious tomato pie you’ve ever tasted. I’m inspired by the rhythm of the seasons, the fruits and vegetables I grow, freshly milled grains, and the slow, nourishing process of sourdough fermentation.
At Garden of Mirth, you’ll find a blend of old-fashioned recipes passed down through generations and new creations inspired straight from my garden. Whole-food cooking paired with family traditions is truly my jam, and my goal is to help you feel confident making real food at home—food that brings people together around the table.
Whether you’re here to learn sourdough, cook from scratch, or use what’s growing in your own backyard, I’m so glad you’re here.
