Take a Closer LookMeet Laura
I started cooking and baking when I was seven, and I’ve been making a lovable mess of it ever since.
My first batch of cookies didn’t have enough flour. My mom swore she liked them that way. I’m still not convinced.
I’m not a professionally trained chef. I’m a home cook who’s learned by doing, messing up, trying again, and feeding a whole lot of people along the way.
