Most of the recipes that you see on display in the video are new creations, although not all of them, a few are in my cookbook. They are all posted on Just A Pinch. Should I have the opportunity write a second cookbook, I hope to include many of the recipes that I have on Just a Pinch. I have been creating and making recipes for many years now. I have an extensive collection.
No my cookbook does not have the history of each of the recipes like here at Just Pinch, but at the beginning of the book I do give a bit of history about me and my very humble beginnings, and my quest in learning how to cook from my mama over the years. I want to include all the things you mentioned in my next book, should I be blessed with the opportunity.
I spent less than a week actually making every thing, like the peanut brittle, I think I made about 6 or 8 Batches, but made it all in one day, as well as the Payday Bars, etc. My goal is always to make it as fresh as possible, so none of the items are more than a week old, most are not even that. It takes me about 4 days to make all of the cakes, I usually start at 6:00 in the Morning.
I am sure you will eventually get around to reviewing my recipes when you have the time. Take care and nice chatting with you Anne.
What, when, and where is the Extravaganza? Are all the recipes from your cookbook? And where could I find a copy of it? Does your cookbook have stories about the history of how you came about "this or that", or about yourself, for that matter. I love to read backgrounds of great cooks and how they started out from the very beginning.
Also, how many hours did you spend making all those decadent desserts, from start to finish. It boggles my mind to even THINK about such a task.
I've yet to comb over your recipes b/c it'll take a full afternoon just to START!
Thanks in advance for everything.
It really is something that I love and enjoy, and requires lots of work. I took both my step daughter and daughter with me last time, then had instruction booklets of each recipe & the garnish and how it was to be displayed, on how each cake was to be frosted or garnished, took the cake stands and domes, planned the color scheme and little frilly things with names for each item with a stand to hold each, and it all worked out. I had 18 feet of table space. They loved it all, and that made me very happy. Smile
All I can say is, WOW! Outstanding
You really learn to use what you have and be creative, when you have little to begin with. My grandmother was a great cook and so was my Grandpa, and I remember some of what they did, but I was very young when they passed away. I have just always enjoyed pleasing others with my culinary skills. Since I am the oldest of 11 kids I had lots of practice over the years. smile
So my passion comes from my desire to always please and make others happy with my foods. Now I have a husband that loves and appreciates great food, and I enjoy cooking for him. He is a very honest and truthful FOOD CRITIC. smile He doesn't always say what I want to hear, but he is always honest and I REALLY appreciate that. THANKS for the comments, & I too cook and share with others during the holidays, the bank the grocery store, and other places of business where I do business all year. I do not have family here, so I share with others in the community.
Have you been inspired in your life by any particular cook in your family? I'm curious because I was just mentioning to a co-worker today about the fact that every Christmas I bake about 15 different types of cookies, not to mention chocolate drizzled pretzels, fudge, candy and other various treats. I do this in honor of my grandma who was basically known for her cooking, and in particular, her glorious Christmas cookies. Sure there are a lot of family members who have inspired me, but every year at Christmastime, I honor my grandma.
My kids know this is why we celebrate with this token of love, giving them away to family and friends in wrapped trays, and they love to participate. It's something we plan on passing along!
I'm just curious who has inspired you...and/or who taught you to cook? I have seen a couple of your Mama's recipes.
