The idea came during the start of the pandemic in 2020 when people were in lockdown, global supply chains were disrupted and people started to look for local and wanted recipes to use what they found.
I was ready and published 11 months worth of recipes and sourcing notes. Then, I pitched that to my publisher as a book and they loved it.

A Tribute to My Mother Gerri Robicheau

I was blessed to have the world’s best Mom for almost 65 years.

I know that every child feels their mother was special, but anyone who knew Gerri Robicheau understood there was something remarkable about her. Her love shaped our family, her generosity touched countless friends, and her example will continue to guide us long after her passing.
