Samantha Fisher, Recipe Tester
A list of all the recipes Samantha Fisher has tested.
Read, bake, paint. Walk the dog, drink some tea. Hand-feed the diabetic cat her daily ration of artisan ham, her preferred food at the moment. It doesn’t sound all-consuming, yet where do the days go? On the side, Samantha Fisher designs sock animals and t-shirts, does graphic design, and is helping a friend launch her wellness coaching business. She sings in an old-timey band and directs a couple of plays a year. She goes on a lot of road trips, and she tries to be a good listener. Oh and once a month, she runs a fundraising dinner delivery in Seattle called TABLE: Take Action, Bake Love Eat. More info at www.eatbakelove.org or follow @samantix on Instagram.
