How would you describe your cookbook, and what makes it a must-have for anyone who loves baking or wants to connect with your culinary journey?

My cookbook is a community-forward project that focuses, not just on recipes that I've developed over the years,

but also on the people who inspire me to create. The book focuses on inspiring individuals who use their work to positively impact the lives of others. After sharing their stories, I shared a recipe that is inspired by the stories. The book is a must have, not only because the food is delicious, but also because the profiles of the stewards featured

in the book are awe-inspiring and moving.

What exciting projects or new ventures can your fans, followers, and loyal customers look forward to in the coming months?

I always love when people ask me what my future plans are because my answer remains the same: I never tell. I think it's important to hold your goals and plans close to the vest until it's nearly complete. I have to protect the energy of my dreams and allow myself the space to work towards them instead of simply announcing them. My fans, followers, and loyal customers can always find good pies, quiches and treats at my bakery....that will always remain.
