Piece of Cake

Imagine if you will a brown-haired, blue-eyed girl standing in a hot Alabama kitchen asking her grandmother for the flour, cup measures and plum baby food. Imagine next, that little girl is barely able to see over the table and barely out of diapers.

That little girl was me. And what you have just witnessed is a glimpse into what would years later become my first “published” recipe—Plum Cake. ('Made with baby food plums, of course... I wasn't “so” young as to still be eating the stuff).

Perhaps more importantly, you've caught a glimpse into the preface of a truly inspired and delightful career created in the kitchen. I still find myself every day, mixing bowls in hand, doing what I did then with my grandmother and doing what I love now—creating food that tastes great and nourishes in more ways than one. My hope is that through my work, this site and the recipes shared through both, others will easily find that good nourishment can truly be a piece of cake.
