Earlier this year, Edible Orange County interviewed me and asked why I share my recipes on my packaging. I told them that I’m not protective of my recipes because a dish or baked good is much more than a list of ingredients and instructions. Each person gets to choose the quality of ingredients they use and the techniques they try, and so your cookies will have your mark on them even if you’re using my recipe. Plus I have come to believe that you can taste the difference when someone puts their heart into what they’re making.
These last three years, I have put my heart into Andrea’s Bakehouse and I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support I’ve gotten from you all over the last few weeks since I announced our closure. THANK YOU. My hope for Andrea’s Bakehouse was that it would be about more than just baked goods, and I’m glad to know it became about baked goods made with high quality ingredients that are shared with loved ones. Thank you for making that happen.
So, go for it and make the Andrea’s Bakehouse recipe at home. Put your heart in it and make sure to share a batch with your friends and family.
