Briggs has talked “food, writing and techniques for living a more gratifying life” on radio and TV, at rotary clubs and women’s associations, and at schools and universities.
About her recipes and stories, Cynthia says, “Your Roasted Garlic Potatoes are in the oven baking along with your Surprise Parmesan Meatloaf. Your Pear Pie with Crunchy Pecan Crust is cooling on the counter . . . The dishes are done, the cut flowers are in a vase on the dining room table, and the whole house smells like paradise! Now it’s time to sit and rest while you wait for the guests to arrive. How better to unwind than to read one or two of the nostalgic and often humorous stories that introduce many of the recipes in Pork Chops & Applesauce?”
Cynthia makes her home in Houston, Texas, with her husband, Ed, and their favorite dachshund, Leon.
