Katie's Note: I met Vera Stewart for the first time this past summer, but I felt like I had known her forever. She's originally from Middle Georgia, as am I, and her accent sounds like home. When I was a student at UGA (Vera's alma mater too) I remember reading about VeryVera's mail order cake in Southern Living. The cake of course, looked delicious, but the wow factor for me at that time in my life was that a woman from my home state was the successful entrepreneur behind it all. And if she could do it, imagine what was possible for me? So, it's a privilege to interview Vera Stewart in our Culinary Woman and Coffee series. And we're lucky that she has a new cookbook out, The VeryVera Cookbook, where she shares all the recipes behind her success.
