"Valerie Gordon’s everyday sweets are highly coveted, but her special occasion pies take it to the next level. Always check in to see what’s in the oven because her baking inspiration is seasonal or depends on Gordon’s mood. She’s currently baking crusty circular treats filled with Pink Lady apples and rhubarb, and blueberry lemon curd hand pies. If visiting during the early hours, try one of the breakfast hand pies with scrambled eggs, ham, and melted Swiss cheese." - Mona Holmes
