Laurey is the youngest daughter of Elsie and John Masterton who founded Blueberry Hill Inn, in Goshen, Vermont and who authored The Blueberry Hill Cookbooks.After an interesting stint in New York, where she worked as a lighting designer off and on Broadway, Laurey visited Asheville for the first time in 1984 to take a course with the North Carolina Outward Bound School. In 1987 she moved to Asheville to work with that school and also started cooking in her tiny walk-up apartment.Laurey has been cooking on Biltmore Avenue, since 1990, first alone and now with a regular bevy of cooks, shopsters, office mavens and delivery folks. This staff of “talented and interesting individuals” makes wonderful food, with a whole lot of fresh, local products and keeps life interesting with music, dancing, art, sport, and hilarity around the place.Laurey is a practicing beekeeper, a hobby glassblower, and a long distance bike rider. She believes in the power of service to others and in being an active member of her community. Her current focus is getting a Chef in each of the 30 elementary schools in the Asheville area as a part of Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move, a project to eliminate childhood obesity by 2015. Among other things Laurey serves on the board of the national organization: Women Chefs and Restaurateurs.Laurey is the author of Elsie’s Biscuits, simple stories of me, my mother, and food and is currently working on a book about bees and honey.
