Main Contributor:
Sylvia, just a girl, standing in front of a world, trying to be kind. Also, a former creative contributor in the tech industry. Prior to her corporate career in the digital agency and business development arena, she worked in a fine cuisine, bakery, deli and at one phase of life, was a food writer for an elite magazine to Canada’s top 1% income earners. Not to mention the life long passion of food – baking her first cake at age 8, developing and enhancing recipes has been an inspirational outlet ever since.
Her family’s motto growing up was… if you’re hungry, make it! (no bought goods in our household of 6, that’s a lot of cooking and baking)
Her dream job would have been working for Google, but now that she’s past the 50 mark – yes that’s a fairly recent pic circa 2020, she’s enjoying her life of hermitude, on sabbatical from 25+ years as a forerunner in the digital tech industry ( helping to develop the SEO industry as well as DM) is now forgoing the city lifestyle and has ventured into Edna Staebler country west of Toronto, Canada, in the quaint Hallmark esq village of St Jacobs, Mennonite country.
Other Contributors:
This is a site focused on family recipes – thus the family will be involved in the contribution process, both living and in legacy: Sylvia’s grandmothers, great grandmothers, mother, sisters, in-laws, extended family, friends’ family heirloom recipes, and even sojourners if need be…
Some recipes come from a 9 generation family farm (now a certified organic farm). Although, back in the day it was just called “food”, no adjectives required.
Sylvia adds to the site when inspiration hits, or when time permits. 🙂
She aims to add gardening, homesteading and composting tips, reviews on natural products, of which she has used chemical free almost exclusively all her life, food items, as well as any other pertinent and ideally helpful tips from her varied careers and interests (including robotics, 30+ years of marriage, food industry, tech industry, living rural, and more).
This site was started in 2008 and has gone through various remodels, it is due for another one, please don’t mind the antiquities until we reach that point. The content is timeless 🙂
