Sandra Paulette Pierce Mathis, the author of Cooking with Love—Just Like My Mama Taught Me (Authentic Virginia Cuisine), was born and raised in Surry, Virginia– a small rural community on the James River. With her mother’s guidance, she started baking and preparing meals by the age of nine. Although Mathis is not a professional baker, she has an extensive recipe collection that dates to the early 1980’s.
