About the Author

I really thought after writing a 600 plus page cookbook, “Where Food And People Meet”, containing my travel stories, culinary information and over 900 recipes, I‘d shared all I knew about the North American continent. However, after contacts with many new people and reconnecting with those from my past, I was bombarded with requests for all the things I didn’t write about. So the first cookbook was what I wanted to share, this second cookbook is all the things everyone requested I share. There’s bits and pieces from my hometown St. Louis, items about Joe’s home area Baltimore, contacts traveling as nurses, more Montana experiences, our wonderful families and a whole chapter about Alaska. Yes, even a chapter for our 17-year old chow/golden retriever, Marlowe Frankie and all family “pets”. I also emphasized the multiple ways anyone can share their culinary skills, highlighting times together indoors and out. I’ve cooked, baked and collected cookbooks, recipes and friends for 40 years. The journey has introduced me to people, places and foods that are a picture book of my incredible life and I’m blessed for every moment and memory. Having the chance to share more of those wonderful times and recipes is my honor and I hope inspires others to reach out and share a meal, dish, snack, treat or food gift to another soul and experience the joy. One person at a time maybe we can bring about a real change in our world. Share your joy and enjoy your journey.
