Deanie’s Start in the Kitchen -
It all started when I (Deanie) got married at twenty-eight. At the time, I didn’t know how to bake a potato or even scramble eggs. My precious husband, Rich, was an amazing cook, and with great patience, he taught me everything he knew. Much to my surprise, food became a big part of my life. Most days were spent in the kitchen, preparing three meals for anyone and everyone who took a seat at our kitchen table. My recipe books became well loved, and to this day are my favorite things to read.
I was widowed at a young age, and when my daughter, Katie, went off to college I decided to pick up the pace. I had a little too much couch time, so decided to open a cafe and retail store! After three years it was time to yet again make some changes, and I made the jump to take the business out on my own. That's when the baking (and the real fun!) began. I started baking desserts, first for my hairdresser, then for restaurants, friends, family… the list goes on. This is where Katie comes in to the picture!
