Mama Bear Cookbook Series
Located on an island, in the middle of "No-Where" (as Lauren says)
My name is Lucinda L. Turley, and everyone calls me Mama Bear. Back in the Fall of 2017, I was diagnosed as having a genetic lung disease, which I inherited from my mother.
I started Mama Bear Cookbooks, in an attempt to preserve favorite family recipes, and memorable moments that I wanted my children to remember. I'm gathering all the recipes we've cooked over the years, and compiling them in a series of cookbooks, dedicating them to my children and the children of my heart. The goal is, to dedicate one cookbook to each member of the family before I pass on.
Each cookbook will touch on a unique attraction or aspect of of this Caribbean Jewel called Belize. Mama Bear Cookbooks are being written, designed, and marketed as Belizean souvenirs, to be sold in gift shops, hotels, resorts, restaurants, grocery stores, and local businesses. Look for our books in a store near you.
