doglover aka Jane

about me

I have been baking and cooking since I can remember. My mother was an excellent cook and teacher. Currently I make bread, jams and dog treats for a local farmer's market. I am also a (very part-time) personal chef.

If you are new to making bread, I suggest you look at Jane's Challah Bread. This recipe includes a lot of bread making tips.

I love experimenting with recipes and seldom make a recipe as stated — I just have to add my own little twist.

On the non-food front, I love animals — especially dogs. I am particularly fond of greyhounds and whippets and am the proud companion of two "whipadors" (half whippet and half black labrador (we think)).

I also love to paint (watercolors mostly), quilt and garden. I teach watercolor painting, acrylic painting, and quilting. I also happen to be an electrical engineer (strange combination, I know)

Favorite Foods:

My favorite foods: OK, are they kidding here? I LOVE them all. Unfortunately, I am allergic to shellfish, but otherwise I'll try pretty much everything.

I am most famous for my baked goods: breads, pies, cookies, etc. I love to try out different combinations of ingredients and I have a very willing taste testers in my farmer's market customers, friends, family, and neighbors.
