About the Author:

Jeffree Wyn Itrich was born in San Diego, where she developed an early love of food from her mother’s dill pickles and blue ribbon-winning strawberry preserves. Jeffree was in the kitchen at her mother’s elbow as soon as she could walk. By the age of 12 she was the family salad maker, tossing her own salads and mixing her own dressings. The following year she learned to bake bread and from then on figured she would never starve. Married, she lives in San Diego with her husband, Earl, and two felines known as ‘the girls’.
