When she's not traveling the state as a culinary coach for the Kansas Department of Education, Laurie Bruce is in her commercial kitchen turning out jams and jellies, jalapeño spreads, bread mixes, frozen bierocks, and other take-and-bake specialties. If the door's open, she's glad for you to stop in. Chances are you'll find Laurie hard at work and you might leave with something from her retail area or a canning tip!
