(say less-LEE) loves making and learning. Her interest in food started at 22, cooking by trial and errors, she hit the ground running baking pies from scratch, making sourdough bread, and preserving pickles, jam, and marinara with produce from her backyard garden. Eckert is also an avid knitter and crocheter. Her favorite technique is brioche because it's fun with a dash of stress!

(Brioche knitting or brioche baking? Yes.)
