Hi All :) This is a Polaroid of me in my childhood home in Flint, Michigan. I've come a long way since boxed cake, but still embrace my Midwest roots.
Eventually we moved out of the inner city to a 5 acre farmhouse and had our own flower and veggie gardens. It was an entire family labor of love. Hand watered! Hand harvested pears, raspberries, cherries, blueberries and apples from our land or neighboring farms was also common. At my Grandparents' cabin Up North -tiny wild strawberries the size of peas grew freely. And I ate them freely :) Lots of swimming and fishing in the lake with Grandpa and lots of jam and jelly making with Grandma!
I've since lived in Coastal and Central Florida (Cuban influenced food), Upstate and NYC (Italian and International flavors), and Hawaii (Mangoes, Papaya, ocean and Biodynamic farm study). I now reside happily in Flagstaff, Arizona where the community of local and regional farmers, high desert honeys, and lots of fresh herbs right out of my own garden make this home. Wherever I have lived it is Community that has made life rich and meaningful. Cooking for you is cooking for your personal Community.
It is an honor to bring my traditions and background to your tables.​
Warmly,
Deana
