Culinary Team

After graduating from New York City’s The French Culinary Institute, Stephanie spent years honing her culinary skills in the Manhattan kitchens of several well-regarded restaurants and bakeries before moving on to writing and developing recipes for culinary magazines such as Food & Wine, Chocolatier Magazine and Pastry Art and Design.

Stephanie’s constant need to be challenged propelled her into her next position as Director of Culinary Operations and Production to Bobby Flay. For over two decades, Stephanie was by Bobby’s side as his career exploded and “Bobby Flay” became a household name.  She collaborated on ten different series for the cable giant Food Network, providing thousands of recipes for episodes of Hot off the Grill with Bobby Flay, Brunch with Bobby, BBQ Addiction, Boy Meets Grill, Food Nation, Iron Chef America and Beat Bobby Flay.  

Stephanie co-wrote fourteen of Bobby's cookbooks and penned two titles of her own, Treat, a Delicious Ode to the Rice Crispie Treat, and 150-Calorie Cocktails, All Natural Drinks and Snacks. 

Stephanie currently lives in Chicago (her favorite food city) with her beloved cat Frederick George and spends most of her free time reading about food, cooking food and eating food, especially dessert!

What is your favorite product?

I truly love each of our products for different reasons, but I am constantly amazed at the power and the versatility of the Hybrid Fire Grill. There is nothing that can't be made on that grill (even pie!).
