About the Author

Long before her ninety-five-year-old mother came to live with her and husband, Jerry, Susan B. White was determined to write a cookbook someday. The idea for the direction her first book would take finally materialized by the opportunity to share many memories with her mother, Doris. For her granddaughter Skye’s tenth birthday in 2011, Susan created a much smaller but unique version. With that beginning and contributions from many family members, she slowly put her family’s stories, history, and recipes on paper and developed those into this collection. Susan spent many years as a caterer to supplement the income of a public-school teacher. All of the recipes are tested by her and family, as well as clients and friends. Now retired from teaching and catering, Susan still creates her sought-after dishes, especially the cheesecake, for small events and for gatherings of family and friends.
