Wonderful read Ruth, thank you, and that kitchen stole my heart, too! Tiny but oh so full of character. Jolene seems such an interesting person, but then again, she's a baker so she must be!
Ruth! Thank you so much for this (I’ve sent it to every member of my family, and they love it, as do I :) can’t wait till we can meet in one of ‘our’ cities. Love that you are making the Duncan Hines brownies for Jeff! Happy Valentine’s Day! 🤗 ❤️
There's something really quite lovely about waking up to a chat between two star bakers!
I love both your blogs, and although I don't normally write about food, I'm tempted to start just so I can join the club.😁 I have a private Insta for my baking, just for my friends, would that count?
Great interview. I do think Jolene is too quick to dismiss non-sweet old recipes. Imagine the potential of converting that recipe for offal, tripe and veal loaf into a quick bread!
No, don't.
Seriously, thanks so much, Ruth, for highlighting Jolene, her vintage baking, and that wonderful kitchen.
Inspired by her 1927 Kitchen
Nice story, Ruth! Your blog is a great way to connect with other bakers.
Wow. If you bake like that I will eat and happily grow fat.

Another great read. I love that she does it all in that tiny kitchen. I'd like to be a fly on the wall when you meet in person.

What a wonderful glimpse into the life of Jolene! Thank you, Ruth. You women are so inspiring.
Great interview. I follow Jolene and love the photos of her kitchen. My grandmother's kitchen favored that same lemon yellow.
