Hi, I’m Fran,  

I am a wife, mother and grandmother who loves baking and creating in my kitchen. For me cooking is not just about feeding the body it is about feeding the soul. I learned that in my grandmother’s kitchen. She, along with my mother and great Aunt Ina, taught me that food has tremendous power in gathering the people we love and building lasting relationships. I’ve tried to pass those lessons on to my own children as we have spent time together in the kitchen working, laughing, and enjoying wonderful food. It is for them that I have created this collection of our family’s favorite recipes. I hope you will enjoy them and that they will bring joy to your home as they have ours. 

With Love,

Mama Fran
