  • Shepard writes a food column for her local newspaper, creating recipes, sharing personal stories, and providing cooking advice to her community.

Experience

Shepard joined the Tasting Table writing team in 2022. Writing has always been a passion for Shepard. She likes to think of herself as a little bit Julia Child and a little bit Amy Sedaris. Her mico-bakery, Shepard's Pie Baking Co., has become a fixture in her area and she has been expanding her business into multiple local markets.

Education

Shepard holds a bachelor's degree in philosophy with a minor in medical and legal ethics from Smith College. She also holds an associate degree in culinary arts from McIntosh College.
