About Us
Betsy was my nickname when I was growing up, and Claude was my imaginary friend. We spent hours together in my little, wooden Creative Playthings kitchen when I wasn’t in the real kitchen cooking up things with my mother. Like most bakers that I know, my love of baking blossomed from hours spent watching my mother (who was a home baker and had her own, local TV cooking show) and my grandfather (who owned his own restaurant) in their kitchens.

I hate to bother you twice in the same day, but I have to know – where did you get the recipe for pork dumplings that you mentioned in your blog on 12-04-09? I only weigh 103 lbs after 10 months of eating on breast-fed, poly-allergic baby’s elimination diet. Obviously, my cooking is probably not as good as yours (although it could be the next great weight loss fad with the proper marketing). I would do anything for a good pork dumpling. BTW, I love your blog. I am learning a lot about cooking for myself and Baby Wy, while being simultaneously entertained. Thank you. It is also making me home-sick for NYC. My husband and I lived there for 10 years, and my four-year-old twins were born there. We weren’t as brave as you. When the twins were five weeks old, we moved to Florida. (We have moved to Tibet, if it involved having our own washer and dryer.) It’s great for the kids down here, but I will always be a city girl at heart.
Let me know about the pork dumpling recipe. Also, do you have any recommendations for cookbooks that have recipes for dinner meals? Thanks, Sabrina
Hey Sabrina,
Almost all of the recipes that I share on this site are recipes that I have developed myself. When this one has been further tested, I will post it. So glad that you found me and that you like the blog!
Hi I Live in England. I have bought allergy-free desserts by Elizabeth Gorden and I was trying to find out if I can buy the flours mentioned in this book anywhere in the uk.
I would be very grateful for any information you can give me.
Many thanks
Teresa
Hi Teresa,
Since I’m in the US, I can’t give you a specific store in try in Britain. However, in the United States, these products are readily available online on Amazon.com. I wonder if maybe you could look on Amazon.uk.co? If there is a shopping section for food, I would think that they would sell them. If you can’t find them on Amazon, you could contact Bob’s Red Mill directly via email and ask if they have retailers in the UK. If that doesn’t work, I think that any local health food stores would have the flours for the cakes. Let me know if any of this helps. If not, I will put on my thinking cap and try to think of some other options.
