Lorina Stephens, author of RoaDH declares herself a simple domestic cook. But don’t mistake simple for dull or even dumb. Her cooking philosophy is simple ingredients treated simply, working in harmony with the demands of flavour, quality, nutrition and the demands of time and budget. While treating her readers to such wonderful recipes as: Green Goo Pasta, Eggs Lorina, and I Capezzolo di Venere (Nipples of Venus), she offers a light-hearted window into her world through delightful, and often insightful anecdotes about her journey not only to the recipe, but raising a family, juggling career and domestic responsibilities as well as health issues.

Praise for Recipes of a Dumb Housewife

How do I let you know how I liked the salads or am I able to just say all of them were fantastic? -- Margaret Trainor Howie, Caterer

(The Beef Stroganoff is) very yum! All gone, though there’s some leftover noodles … it was very well received. Exquisitely dark and rich-seeming. I’m sorry I was so parsimonious in my serving myself. Dang! And bonus – (my husband), unsolicited, commented that he didn’t know what it (Eggs Lorina) was, but he liked it. And wanted seconds! -- Vandy Simpson, Historic re-enactor, Set Producer and Costumer for Theatre Orangeville
