Meet the Creators
Generally when one thinks of comfort, satisfaction, giving and fulfillment, their mind and belly head to the kitchen. This appreciation comes in many different forms: pies, cakes, salads, soups, the list could go on for days. But, the underlying love from the hands that tended the garden, harvested and preserved the food, and knowingly prepared each dish, that love is the secret ingredient that gives the most flavor.
This cookbook is just that. It is a collection of farm to table recipes collected over generational decades from the amazing women in my family. My sweet mother; Mickey, my grandmothers; Edna and Villa, plus other dear family members, and yours truly. Each recipe contains our own unique thumbprint of creativity, inspiration, ancestral wisdom, but above all else, love. May you develop and add your own touch of love to these family entrusted recipes, to bring gratitude, and memories to your own family.
Julia Brown and I first met while working at an herbal apothecary. Julia, a lifelong herbalist certified for over a decade, regularly hosts classes teaching others about the wonders of herbs and their uses. One day at work, she mentioned her long-held dream of creating a cookbook but admitted she had no idea how to get it published. I immediately offered to help make her dream a reality. A year later, we were thrilled to be taking photos for her first official cookbook.
Julia is something of a local celebrity in the Fresno/Coshocton area of Ohio, so the prospect of a book filled with her recipes generated a lot of excitement. After countless drafts and revisions, we finally ordered our first batch of 100 books. They sold out incredibly quickly, leading us to order another 100, and then another. Each batch sold just as fast, a testament to Julia's popularity and the community's love for her recipes.
