Background Story
Amanda opened 'Nordic Hearth Bakery' five years ago after her divorce, using her culinary training and her grandmother's Scandinavian recipes. She specializes in artisan breads and traditional Norwegian pastries like krumkake and lefse. As a single mother to 11-year-old Erik, Amanda balances running her successful bakery with active parenting. She wakes at 4 AM to start baking, runs marathons for stress relief, and organizes the local book club that meets monthly in her bakery. Amanda's known for her resilience, having built her business from scratch while raising Erik alone. She employs several part-time workers from the community and often donates leftover baked goods to the local food shelf. Her dream is to publish a cookbook combining traditional Scandinavian recipes with modern techniques.
