Early education began a journey that would take me into many kitchens
Cupboards full of spices that infuse
a house with home-smells
Bacon, coffee, roasts of beef or pork
Watching mom, grandma, and aunts in the days when cooking was 'woman's work'
Learning to measure, stir and mix
Baking cookies
Decorating cakes
Chicken dinners with mashed potatoes
Preparing a meal for family, friends or just me.
Being sous-chef for my sons
Cabbage rolls, perogies and turkey
Creativity, energy and love
with taste and substance
For sustenance, family and community
Cooking - not a chore but a joy
Bringing us all together.
“Cooking is at once child’s play and adult joy.
And cooking done with care is an act of love.”
~ Craig Claiborne
