Amy Bratt Marquard
Amy Marquard is all about precision, in life and in the kitchen.
"I probably should have been a food scientist, because I love technique and process," said Marquard, who does accounts receivable work for area businesses from her home.
Amy is the inventor of several devices intended to cut time and stress out of lefse-making. She also shares her lefse recipe (available at http://www.lefseland.com/) that takes only a little more than an hour to prep and cook (cooling time not included).
Why do it? "I don't think that you should have to wait until Christmastime to have something that tastes so good," Amy says.
Marquard has made The Original Lefse Cuddler and The Incredible Lefse Cloth, which she sells on her website, LefseLand. She's adding a caddy, too (a cloth tote bag in which bakers can store and carry the Cuddler, cloth and the rest of his or her lefse-making tools).
She loves making lefse because of her family history (she's Swedish and Norwegian).
