COCO
Coco is the creator and manager of this blog, and more generally of our family. She has led a peripatetic life, living in the Midwest, the Mountain West, and the Southeast. Her current home in Reno, Nevada affords her accesses to Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada. She enjoys dabbling in ethnic and alternative cuisine and also loves a good martini.
MARTIN
Martin, the main Carbohydrate, is married to Coco. He is a pediatric oncologist who works long hours but still enjoys puttering around the kitchen. He prefers baking over cooking and his scones are legendary. He is Coco’s rock!
JOE
Joe is one of the founding carbohydrates. Living in Wisconsin he eats three hearty meals a day, definitely not a snacker. He’s all about “real food” made with the freshest ingredients, often from his own organic garden. It’s been described as the finest garden in St Croix County.
JEANNE
Jeanne, another founding carbo, lives on the far edge of Greater Minneapolis – St. Paul. This does not deter her from driving the 45 miles to Joe’s garden for fresh vegetables. Having raised four daughters, she’s certainly cooked her share of meals. Taco Tuesdays are a tradition in her own family. She enjoys canning and pickling.
CAROL
Founding Carbohydrate Carol lives on a farm in Polk County, Wisconsin, where she gardens and raises grass-fed animals – hogs and whatnot. We can always count on her to bring plentiful and delicious food to family gatherings. Carol loves to bake specialty birthday cakes for her precious grandchildren.
