Born in Ireland and raised in NY, I have fond memories of tea time with warm and flakey scones served with butter.
My mother's passion for baking and entertaining has been for sure passed down to me. My passion for food, fellowship and family shines through in every aspect of my life. It has been said, a seat at my table is often akin to a global culinary and design adventure...... www.unabaker.com
