How a Southern Baker Turned Dusty Notes into an Award-Winning Treat PALM CITY, FL, UNITED STATES, June 26, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Valerie Simpson, a self-taught baker and registered nurse, is bringing Depression-era recipes back to life with her heartwarming debut cookbook: Sentimental Sweets: Vintage Desserts Made Modern–a collection of 59 thoughtfully revived cakes, cookies, and pies originally jotted down in a handwritten 1932 notebook.

Discovered unexpectedly, the cookbook’s original instructions were often charmingly cryptic, calling for “3 sifts of flour” or baking in “a slow oven.” With a deep respect for culinary history and a creative modern touch, Valerie reimagined each recipe for today’s home bakers. The result is a unique cookbook full of color photography, practical tips, and rich storytelling, making every page as nourishing as the desserts themselves.

“A self-taught baker brings an anonymous Depression-era cookbook up-to-date, with a history lesson for dessert.” – Kirkus Reviews

Sentimental Sweets has already earned national recognition as a Communicator Award of Distinction winner. The book is now available at SentimentalSweetsByVal.com, Amazon, and select online bookstores.

A Story as Sweet as the Recipes
Valerie grew up on a peanut farm in Dixie, Georgia, where she learned the art of baking beside her mother in their modest kitchen. Those Southern traditions, along with the resilience of her father, a WWII veteran who endured the Great Depression, left an indelible mark on her.

Today, from her home in Palm City, Florida, surrounded by her husband Steve, three cats, and a spirited poodle, she’s baking up both memories and mouthwatering creations that connect generations.

“A thoughtful, unique cookbook with a cherry on top.” -Kirkus Reviews
