GALECKTABLES
I fell in love with food and baking when I was a young girl watching my grandmother bake bread in her woodburning oven-the only oven she had in their farmhouse in Upper Michigan. When we would visit, she would make each of us a tiny kid side loaf of bread - we would slice pieces off and place them on a long fork and toast the top and bottom over the flames from the stove- adding a charred edge and warmth to melt the butter but the inside remained soft and fresh- It was the most INSANE wonderful thing I had ever experienced and I looked forward to it each time we visited her. When I was old enough to bake on my own, about 7:) I asked for a Holly Hobby Oven and that started the ball rolling! When I was about 9 I was making French Onion Soup for my grade school friends- a friend recently remembered me making gourmet versions of Steak-UM sandwiches! A few years later, in college, I became vegetarian and to this day only cook vegetarian.
I didn’t see an opportunity to go into a culinary school and throughout the years practiced on my own, hosting friends, dinner parties and cooking for myself. I loved photography and followed a path that lead me to pursuing that instead- you can read more about that under the About section on this website.
When I moved to Door County in 2020, I had heard about the commercial kitchen space at NWTC in Sister Bay and part 2 of my life started from there!
Subtly Sweet and Savory Vegetarian Culinary Delights available in Door County at Waseda Market in Baileys Harbor and Sturgeon Bay as well the Sister Bay Piggly Wiggly(Freezer at front of store next to the bread aisle.) Also available by special order, and please follow Instagram for local Pop- Up info!
I specialize in vegetarian sometimes vegan and/or gluten free soups with flavors from around the world using local(when available), organic and all natural ingredients. Curries, Greek Avgolemeno Soup, Sesame Carrot and Red Lentil Soup are just a few of the offerings. Savory Bake at Home Galettes are another delicious option available. Galettes are a rustic, free form type of pie, incorporating a made from scratch , all butter crust, filled with delicious ingredients ranging from roasted beets, blue cheese and pistachios to potatoes, caramelized onions and cheddar and many other combos in between! They can be made sweet or savory, but I mostly offer savory versions that are perfect for any meal and are a wonderful dish to offer friends at a dinner party! Pair it up with a salad and/or soup!
For dessert options, there are the cookies that started my business… Ready? it’s a mouthful, but I promise they are better one small bite at a time to truly appreciate them:) Brown Butter Toasted Almond Rosemary Cookies, with Rosemary Caramel Centers and Sea Salted Edges!
I also make a Spicy Mexican Cocoa Cookie with Cinnamon Caramel Centers and Sea Salted Edges.
And then there is my Tiramisu! It is one of my favorite desserts to bring home from work:) I make the ladyfingers from scratch, using local organic eggs from Waseda Farms. They are soaked in a locally roasted coffee, Marsala Wine and Vanilla Extract. I use all Wisconsin Dairy- whipping the heavy organic cream into the most fluffy delish custard including cooked egg yolks, a bit more Marsala, Vanilla and Organic Sugar. Then layered with dark rich Cocoa Powder. It is subtly sweet focusing on the combined flavor profiles, and texture of the cake, cream, and cocoa.
And last but not least, the Gluten Free Vegan the Chilled Cocoa Cashew Coffee Tortes with Oat, Almond Maple Crust! You don’t have to have food allergies or be vegan to appreciate this! Please try it!
