Author Biography
Baking at her grandmother's side in a small Idaho kitchen, Michelle Wright discovered early in life that there's no better way to combine creativity, love, and service than by mixing up some flour, sugar, butter, and chocolate--and then sharing those freshly baked cookies with neighbors and friends. Over the years, besides perfecting the chocolate chip cookie, she has expanded her repertoire to include more challenging recipes and feature more unique ingredients, such as infused olive oils and balsamic vinegars. But at her core, she still uses baking as a creative expression and an act of love. When she's not baking, she loves to travel the world, though that may secretly be another way to extend her love of good food because her destinations and itineraries are always planned around trying the best local cuisine and finding a new regional cookbook to add to her collection. Her most cherished cookbook of all is the one she still uses from her grandmother's kitchen.
