Short Bio:
I was compelled to write The Bakery Girls about the same time my mother died, when I focused on valuable, ingenious, whimsical things I had learned from her. Gradually it occurred to me that The Bakery Girls story was an important piece of what Tom Brokaw called "the greatest generation." Their work, education and relationships were culturally "iced" with remarkable politics, music, travel and slang.
Life is something like baking because you have a choice of your favorite ingredients, combine them tastefully, observe through the oven window, watch the time, then proudly share your creation. Even if your cookies quickly disappear, the spicy scent lingers as does the satisfaction. Our taste and aroma memory are vehicles to another time.
Memory of baking has surfaced as a benefit to my readers. We have special memories from the kitchens of our childhood or special trips to favored bakeries. Please share these with me via author@thebakerygirls.net, twitter or linkedin.
