A short bio from Ann Jorgensen:

Ann is an energetic great-grandmother, who raised her family as a single working mom on a limited budget. As a result, she learned to ‘make do’ using substitutes in recipes and creating interesting tasty meals within her budget. She has many practical hands-on ideas for those who want to make the most of their kitchen and recipes through her lifetime accumulation of tips and ideas. After living most of her adult life in Western Washington, Ann packed up the cats and moved to Eastern Washington to be closer to her great-grandchildren. Ann has always enjoyed creating wonderful things. She is an avid quilter, loves working on her computer, and enjoys working in the yard around her home. She excels in baking bread, and enjoys creating tasty dishes in her kitchen for her family and friends. Ann is excited that her book, Kitchen Basics 101, will ensure that her knowledge, skills and techniques, will be passed from generation to generation in her family. This book is Ann's legacy to her family and her friends.
