Hello from Anne,
Welcome to my kitchen, where you’re as likely to find a caramel cake cooling on the counter as you are my son’s homework, folded laundry, and the makings for dinner. My life in Nashville is busy with three children, a husband, dog and a cat, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve been writing about food for 30 years, first in Atlanta and now through the Cake Mix Doctor and Dinner Doctor cookbooks. I love to eat well - burgers grilled over charcoal, roasted butternut squash soup, and that caramel cake – but I also rely on good shortcuts to make dinner happen. So come cook and bake with me as I share secrets and simply delicious recipes, some from scratch and some not.
