Jill Berkowitz Provan

Jill Berkowitz Provan was born in Boston, Massachusetts, into a family of food lovers, cooks, and restaurateurs. For some family members, cooking was a serious hobby; for others, it was a livelihood. Jill grew up eating wonderful food made with high-quality ingredients, and this shaped her life.

In "Baking Breakfast," Jill has put her passion for baking to work. She has created dozens of inventive and delectable recipes. In place of traditional ingredients, she often substitutes healthy alternatives, such as whole wheat flour, nut meals, maple syrup, and agave nectar, many of which have just recently become widely available at affordable prices.
