why choose maple over other sweeteners

January 10, 2018 by Katie Webster

I’ll just cut to the chase. I’m not going to tell you that maple syrup is healthy. Because it’s an added sugar and we should all limit our added sugars. But I am going to tell you why you should choose maple over other sweeteners. And spoiler alert- one if those reasons is that it is healthier. Not healthy, but healthier. Read on to find out why it’s a better choice than other sweeteners.

How We Decided To Go Legit

May 5, 2017 by Katie Webster

Legit.

The notification from the town zoning board was probably really the last straw.

Well when I say notification, I should probably say “notification”, because it was actually a farce from the neighbors who were teasing us about our ghetto-sugaring-in-the-driveway-with-sheets-of-plywood-to-protect-from-the-wind sugaring operation. I mean “operation.”

 

This is how it all came about: We have been sugaring for years on our property. Nothing more than just 30 buckets and boiling the sap out in our driveway. We started with a wood burning stove set on blocks with a hotel pan on top. And eventually graduated to a Leader half-pint evaporator. But really all along Jase had maple manifest destiny.

Why I Wrote a Cookbook All About Maple Syrup

February 23, 2017 by Katie Webster

Those of you who know our story, know that by day I’m a recipe developer and food blogger. And in 2015 I wrote my first cookbook. And it’s all about maple syrup. Today I want to tell you about the journey that became writing Maple: 100 Sweet and Savory Recipes Featuring Pure Maple Syrup.

Why I wrote Maple: 100 Sweet and Savory Recipes Featuring Pure Maple Syrup (quirk books 2015)

Parts of this post were excerpted from my food blog Healthy Seasonal Recipes.

It’s crazy to think back on the time when I first came up with the idea of writing an entire cookbook about maple syrup. And truth be told, it didn’t happen just like that. As simple as like, you know what, I’m going to write a maple syrup cookbook.

 

It wasn’t like that.

 

I was actually wanting to write a cookbook long before maple syrup became the subject. I’ll get to that in a minute.

 

Flash forward to when the cookbook first came out in the fall of 2015. I was being interviewed on the local news about my cookbook, Maple, the reporter asked if she could call me a Vermonter. I told her that it probably wasn’t a good idea. That’s because I am what is known as a Flatlander, a term used for people who aren’t originally from the Green Mountain state.
