Born in rural Michigan,near Grand Rapids I learned to cook from my mother. Meats, Taters, Maters, straight from the garden and barn were the credo of the day. Wild, and domestic fruits,garden veggies were put up yearly. I could hardly wait for our annual trips to the cabin in Baldwin to pick Morels,and beefsteak mushroom as well as wild asparagus. Moved to West central FL in 1968 and never looked back. Amongst the palmettos, and cedar swamps I took to the new wilderness, (and remember back then most of this area was)right off the bat. At age 13 I went to work for a man, who not only owned the best but the only sea food resturant between Oldsmar and Clearwater Called Tabors Seafood He taught me how to cook delicious foods like flounder,cod, oysters, scallops, shrimp etc. I've been a cook every since. I now own my own cookie company called Deacons Cookies some of my recipes are posted here at the Zaar.
