As a teen of the 80s and 90s, I fell in love with actress Tiffani Thiessen – as EVERYONE did – in television shows like “Saved By The Bell” and “Beverly Hills, 90210.”

But in addition to all that TV goodness, it turns out Tiffani had an ace up her sleeve that fans didn’t know about – The Girl Can Cook!

Her latest culinary venture is a new cookbook called “Pull Up A Chair: Recipes From My Family to Yours,” which goes on sale October 2. In the book, Tiffani showcases easy, warm, family-friendly recipes that she’s honed by cooking for her family and friends for years. And she is bringing her tips and tricks to the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival on Sept. 16!

We caught up with Tiffani at her home in California for a quick chat about her appearance, her culinary journey (including the new cookbook) and some exciting new projects including a hit NetFlix series.

The 23rd Epcot International Food & Wine Festival runs from through November 12, 2018.
