Lauren Bair

Lauren Bair is a food writer whose work has been featured on Food Republic, Mashed, Chowhound, Tasting Table, and Simply Recipes. She leans into her many years as a commercial actor and visual artist to create entertaining food content on social media; that has manifested most uniquely through a character called "Tiny Hand" who has tiny hands and loves a good snack.

Lauren attributes her cooking "chops" to her family's Pennsylvania Dutch roots where butter, and shortening make everything better. She is all about finding and celebrating the authentic joy in cooking and eating — and sharing that with her friends and family.

Best piece of cooking advice: "You can always turn a bad bake into a great ice cream! (A sentiment attributed to David Lebovitz, author of The Perfect Scoop."
