Nancy Spiller, visual artist, author, and food writer shares her memories of learning the art of making cream puffs at her mother's side before mental health concerns forever changed the mother daughter relationship and how this magical recipe has been embraced by her granddaughter.

She also shares a very interesting project involving junk mail and the storyline of her food novel Entertaining Disasters.

Thank you to our Sponsor Bob’s Red Mill for keeping my pantry full of fabulous flours and baking products!
