About Shirley
May this be the best year ever. Food should taste amazing, learn to add layers of flavor to your meals.
Every lesson is developed to meet your individual tastes and skills. If you’re just learning to cook or you’re tired of the same old recipes, a three hour lesson might just give you some new ideas.
My specialties include freshly milled grains like Einkorn, baking breads, pies, cookies. Love to make soups from scratch, rice dishes, gluten free pasta.
Do you need more flavors, more texture, more recipes or a shopping tour of your local farm stores?
Bread from the oven smells so amazing it tastes even better I was a very impatient five year old waiting for my first little creations to come out of that oven. Of course my mother had made the bread dough But I had shaped it, watched it double its size and watched as it turned golden brown in the oven it was delicious At that moment I saw baking as an art project so easy so delicious who wouldn’t want to make their own bread? I’ve been cooking and baking since my early childhood love sharing recipes and creating special meals
Sharing and teaching is easy.
Practical experiences in life have provided many cooking, baking, gardening, and canning lessons
I grew up in a rural area in PA. There were very few stores, restaurants or bakeries. So, following my grandmothers and my mother, i learned to cook quickly and efficiently for any number of people. The farm was 120 acres, usually growing tomatoes. Fresh ingredients created wonderful meals for huge Sunday dinners
I loved foods but struggled with those extra pounds. So I studied nutrition at every opportunity. I attended lectures on Ayurvedic cooking at the Himalayan Institute. I learned to make Paneer and fresh whey and enjoyed raw juices. For a year of living aboard a sailboat, I had ordered a 75 pound bag of Basmati rice I grew sprouts and herbs to supplement the fish and rice
While attending Villanova I had read every nutrition book I could find in the university library. At the same time I tried most new diet plans too. I can teach and share recipes for most diet plans
My mother became diabetic later in life so we created lots of healthy recipes to make foods delicious and low calorie Lots of vinegar based relishes, pickles, and salads Favorite recipes had to be adapted We explored lots of new spices
I continue farming by joining CSA Community Supported Agriculture. I belong to an organic CSA, sandy soil, that grows food for the food pantry. The other CSA is 14 acres of clay, but grows delicious foods.
