Angela Allt nee Clayton grew up in rural New Brunswick and was raised beside her mother in the country kitchen cooking wholesome and tasty meals, desserts and dishes that always satisfied.
Her love of cooking spans generations as she learned the traditional recipes from her mother/grandmother and passed down through the generations.
She learned to cook over a oil stove and would help prepare dishes throughout the seasons and to last the year.
Pickles, preserves, pastries and baking became a way of life.
Her family home was located above her parents country store and the dishes that were created had to satisfy and pass the test of the lumberjacks, fishermen and hunters who frequented the area.
Her memories and stories are rich and deserve to be heard - from serving lumber jacks who worked the forests behind her using horse drawn equipment to fishermen working the salmon river in front of her place.
She is of our generation but her stories and memories are from a lost era that disappeared as times moved on.
