Being from New England, Rebecca loves all things autumnal. She grew up in Massachusetts and went on to live in North Carolina, Iowa, and Connecticut before settling in New Hampshire, where she now resides. Having studied American Gothic Literature in graduate school, she named The Doughty Doughnut after Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow—combining her two favorite pastimes: reading and baking.

REBECCA

My love of baking didn't begin until my husband taught me how to use a Kitchen Aid mixer, but the rest is now history.

"There was the doughty doughnut, the tender oly koek, and the crisp and crumbling cruller; sweet cakes and short cakes, ginger cakes and honey cakes, and the whole family of cakes. And then there were apple pies, and peach pies, and pumpkin pies; besides slices of ham and smoked beef; and moreover delectable dishes of preserved plums, and peaches, and pears, and quinces; not to mention broiled shad and roasted chickens; together with bowls of milk and cream, all mingled higgledy-piggledy, pretty much as I have enumerated them, with the motherly teapot sending up its clouds of vapor from the midst."

-The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Washington Irving
