ABOUT ME
Hey there! I'm Valerie, the heart and soul behind Cranberry Walk, and I'm thrilled to have you here with me. I wear many hats around here – from dreaming up recipes to capturing their essence through my camera lens. Photography is still a learning curve for me, but that's part of the fun, right? I'm constantly evolving.
Each recipe on Cranberry Walk has a story, often inspired by my wonderful family. My husband and our two sons are my biggest motivators and taste testers. They've been my favorite culinary companions - always happy to taste test and come up with great ideas!
Food was central to my upbringing, a blend of Hungarian and Italian influences thanks to my parents. Whether it was a holiday or just a family gathering, there was always something delicious on the table. Baking, especially cookies, became my favorite way to participate. Little did I know then that this love would shape so much of my life.
After college, I briefly pursued a cookie business before transitioning to a corporate career. Alongside my husband, Brad, we built a home and raised our boys. Cooking for my family has always been a joy – from packing school lunches to preparing meals for everyone at home. Now that my sons are off following their dreams, I cherish every opportunity to cook for them when they visit.
My journey has taken me through different paths, but my passion for food has remained constant. It's not just about the recipes but the stories and memories we create around them. I invite you to join me on this culinary adventure at Cranberry Walk, where every dish tells a tale of love, family, and deliciousness.
