I came back to the music class the next week and told him he absolutely had to get the recipe in front of everyone. Well, Jeff is a very persistent man and I eventually tried it. The concept of storing dough in the refrigerator flew in the face of everything I’d learned in culinary school and when something seems too good to be true, it generally is.

My friend and I would mix random ingredients together, throw it into the oven and wait to see what would happen. Zoë: I started “baking” when I was about 7 years old. We are honored to share her insight and story! You’re a successful baker and author in Minneapolis.
