Erin Jeanne McDowell on Grandma's kitchen, savory baking, and timing

Hungry for More : an Epicurean's Dilemma

She's a cookbook author, recipe developer, and award-winning food stylist and Erin Jeanne McDowell has done it again : new cookbook released October 11th. She's also incredibly smart, lovely, and funny. She shares where her love of baking came from (you know I love a good grandparent story), and how she really learned how to bake and cook in two different "schools" : grandma's kitchen and mom's kitchen. They both really set her up for her future. She quickly learned in order to be successful - you needed to do all the things and do them well. My biggest (and probably favorite) take away from this interview is learning and coping with timing. Sometimes, it's just not the right time. And sometimes, as you'll hear, it is. Her book "Savory Baking" comes out October 11th and is available in most stores where books are sold.
