Unanimous thumbs-up ๐Ÿ‘ for this fall-ish coffee cake!


โ€‹

Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ

The recipes that come out of the Great Island kitchen are a family affair. My oldest daughter works with me side by side on all aspects of the site, and she tackles some of the more complex recipes we share (have you seen our Swedish Cardamom Buns or our Bรปche de Noรซl Cake?)

My son-in-law is the force behind our multi-day homemade corned beef, and our foray into kefir making.

My husband is my restaurant and farmers market partner, and does clean up on recipe testing days (bless him!) He also proofreads each and every post I publish.

My youngest daughter gets in front of the camera when I can bribe her with something delicious ๐Ÿ˜‹

So when all of them independently declared this coffee cake to be one of the best we've ever done, it means something! I bet you're going to love it too.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isnโ€™t that what itโ€™s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!
