Kudos to our photographers for their exceptional support and creative talent in bringing our desserts to life: Karen Segraves, KES Photography; Mark Smith and Matthew Lovette, Jumping Rocks Photography; Christian Gianelli, Christian Gianelli Photography; and Jenna Strawbridge.

We so appreciate Joan and Dane Wells, Larie Engles, Dani Hanscom Thode, and Kristie Rosset, who let us mess up their kitchens for photo shoots, as well as those who housed us during photo shootsLarie Engles and Linda Hill.

(see for more details)

8 Broads in the Kitchen officially came into being in 2008. But that event was part of eight individual journeys that began many years earlier, as each of us in our own way discovered the joy and friendship that comes from sharing good food with family and friends.

Who could have foreseen that eight women from totally different backgrounds and cultures would meet, form friendships stronger than steel, and collaborate in an enterprise that has resulted in three published cookbooks.

From the humble origin of a food blog intended to offer our most requested recipes, our collaboration as 8 Broads has encouraged us all to grow professionally and personally.
