- Heather's confections are so in demand she launched a cottage bakery to keep her fans fed. Her specialties include peanut butter brownies, lemon brownies, snickerdoodles, cinnamon rolls, chocolate chip cookies, pecan pie, and apple pie.
- She has interviewed multiple culinary heavyweights, but her favorite was innovative female vintner Marina Cvetic, exploring how the wild and rugged Abruzzo region of Italy imparts a distinct and robust character to the grapes.
