Melisa Smith
Hello! Thanks for stopping by. My name is Melisa Smith. I am a Stained Glass Artist, former Library Supervisor, Children's Program Director and a self proclaimed chef in my own home. Having spent several years working as a server and bartender during my college years in the Seattle area helped me out in the self proclaimed chef arena of my life. I have no formal training in cooking or photography but I hope you will enjoy the fun things I cook up and the adventures I am lucky enough to experience.
​

I'm also available for recipe development, reviews and photography should you be needing any of these services. Thank you so much for your support!
​
The Glass Pantry is sure to be stocked full of interesting adventures in bread baking, sourdough, cheese making, smoked meats, gardening, motorcycle rides and other travel adventures that I hope you will enjoy.

Melisa
