Joanie Chevalier asked Nellie K. Neves:

In Set to Simmer, Dakota makes some wonderful meals and the cinnamon rolls she makes sounds delicious! (I wish books had an app to press on the aroma when I'm reading something like this!) You wrote it as if you really know how to cook (or are an expert researcher). Do you cook in real life?

Nellie K. Neves I do! I love cooking. I’m well-known for my cinnamon rolls actually. My mom used to make overnight rolls when I was growing up. Hers are so much better than mine. Many of the recipes in the book are my own, like the peach breakfast puffs. Others are ideas I found in my research. You can find them on my Pinterest board for Set to Simmer. I like cooking, but my love is baking. I’m also a firm believer in growing my own food. Growing up most of my life in Sacramento, the farm to fork capitol of California, it’s no wonder some of that ended up in the book as well.
