Growing up on a farm in rural Pennsylvania, Jess McCloskey was raised around home-cooking
and traditionally made preserves. A love for slow-cooking and growing her own fruits and
vegetables forms the basis of how she considers crafting gourmet gifts. Having spent several years
living in different countries, she has developed a taste for combining flavours and drawing on
different traditional recipes to create new and exciting dishes. She spends her time working on her
homemade confections business, digging in her garden, and working as a writer.
