Pictures to the right are of Aunt Nodie.

I collect cookbooks and I get different ideas of what I want to do. My family were always known as bakers and cooks. I would watch what other people make and how they would make it. That would inspire me. Many people have taught me how to make dishes as well and I always put my own spin on it.  So that’s where I get my creativity from: books, my family, and other friends. I always liked to cook. My Aunt Nodie was one of the best cooks I ever knew and she taught me how to make this “Coconut Custard Pie” which she learned from my grandmother.
