April McGreger
April McGreger really is a farmer's daughter. She first learned the art of preserving at the elbow of her mother and grandmother in a small Mississippi farming town. Her wanderlust led her to a master's thesis on a volcano in Italy, but the call of kitchen could not be ignored. She worked her way into a pastry chef position at the Lantern Restaurant in Chapel Hill, NC, where she honed her skills and her palate. She lives with her husband and son in Hillsborough, NC.
