Hello All!
I'm Ann, from Baltimore, and recently joined this site on the urging of Ms. Minx. I do NOT work in the food industry in any way but am very interested in local food and what I consider good cooking and business practices.
I'm the daughter of a farm girl so my expertise, as it were, is in the simple preparation of fresh and in-season produce. Although I do have an inheritance of southern recipes that some may kill for, including Mama Hilda's pound cake (which calls for a pound of butter) and the Smithville Men's Club Brunswick Stew. I also know how to make a BBQ sauce, courtesy of
