Meet Brenda and Her Husband Terry


Brenda is a Very Best Baker from Enid, Oklahoma. In addition to taking care of her family, Brenda is also a teacher’s aide for four-year-old children. Despite having a full plate, she almost always cooks from scratch. So the recipes she enjoys most are fast and easy!

Since this was the Share the Love Sweepstakes, Brenda decided to share the experience with her husband Terry. Terry enjoys cooking on the grill and sharing time with Brenda and their two children.


NESTLÉ Rolls Out the Red Carpet


As Brenda arrived at the Cleveland Airport, she realized she was in for a special visit. Jenny Harper met her as she got off the escalator with a giant Congratulations sign.

She and her husband were whisked away to dinner at Lola, one of Cleveland’s most popular restaurants, and then taken to the Ritz Carlton to rest up for a big day of baking!


Lessons from the NESTLÉ Test Kitchen


The next day, Brenda and Terry got an all-day lesson from Jenny and the rest of the NESTLÉ Test Kitchen folks, learning eight different recipes and too many baking skills to count. Brenda recalls, “My favorite recipe was the NESTLÉ CHOCOLATIER™ Chocolate Cake.”

Terry got into the spirit of the day and learned some recipes he liked just as much, including a Pepperoni Pizza Quiche.

Then, to get the true flavor of how the NESTLÉ Test Kitchen works, the team tested one of Brenda’s own recipes, her famous Old-Fashioned Lemon Bread! They made the recipe three times and tried it out on a blind taste test panel. The results are in...Brenda’s Old-Fashioned Lemon Bread is fantastic!

Very Best Baker for Life!


As soon as our winners arrived home, Terry went right out to the grocery store so he could make a pepperoni quiche and take it to work. Brenda gives us the rest of the story, “The guys laughed and said that real men don’t eat quiche. But the whole thing was gone by the end of the day.” Terry obviously learned a thing or two in the NESTLÉ Test Kitchen.

Did Brenda enjoy the experience as much as Terry? “If I lived anywhere near Cleveland, I’d apply for a job at the test kitchen. It seems like a lot of fun and they all get along so well. It was like cooking with family.” We’ll take that as a “yes”.

Congratulations to Brenda Washburn on winning the 2007 Share the Love Sweepstakes. It could be your turn to win! Check out our current Sweepstakes.
