From the young age of twelve Larry had his first taste of cooking through
the BSA. He has been at home in the kitchen or outside near a campfire
cooking ever since. His love of cooking began early on in Troop 702 out of
Reading, Massachusetts where he met all his cooking requirements, received
his cooking Merit Badge and by the age of fourteen was cooking for seventy
boys scouts and fifteen adult men at their weekend camp outs.

Larry's love of cooking has continued through the years working in many
restaurants throughout New England and includes many different cuisines
such as Chinese, Italian, Greek and International. Larry attended a culinary
school in the Boston area and was taught in French Traditional Cuisine.
He has over 35 years of culinary experience including three years at the
Hanscom Officers Club, three years as the in-house chef at Wesleyan
University in Connecticut where he became an honorary member of the
DKE fraternity, worked as manager of Horowitz Delicatessen in Cary and
has been with the Chapel Hill/Carrboro School system as a Dietary
Manager for the past six years.
Since living in North Carolina he has gone back to school and received his
CDM (Certified Dietary Manager) and his CFPP (Certified Food Protection
Professional) credentials from Wake Tech.

You could say that he has a passion for cooking that has lasted his whole life.

Larry and Karen have known each other all their lives, their families lived
only two blocks away from each other. In 1983 they became best friends and
have been together ever since. They have been married for twenty four years
and have one son, Larry Jr. Larry has taught Karen everything she knows
about cooking and baking and they love being in the kitchen working
together. All of their blessings have been through the grace of God and they
are very thankful.

Their dream is to open a small bakery in Pittsboro in 2008. Currently still
working out of their in-home bakery, they are selling cheesecakes at four
farmer's markets, three restaurants, one Bed & Breakfast and many
individuals.

Update as of February 2010
We continue working towards bringing a small take-out bakery to Pittsboro.

Continuing to bake from our home until we can locate a store front on
Main Street in Pittsboro.

We ask for your prayers as we look forward to opening our dream of a small
bakery.

We want to say thank you to all of our friends who have helped us get this
far through taste testing and sampling. We look forward to opening our
doors in the future so that we can become one of Chatham Counties tasty
spots.

Thank you for visiting our site.
A Dream in the Making
