I am a protective mother of two daughters, an immigrant who found my roots after i left my country of birth and an average cook, often pleasantly surprised by my own creations. I am not much of a conversationalist, or a writer, but I do love stories – hearing them and retelling them.
I moved to the United States in 2006, away from family, with no cooking skills, fancy gadgets or spices – just a notebook filled with recipes of some of my favorite dishes and memories full of amazing food and stories of my family. This is my attempt at cataloging and sharing some of these flavors and stories. Hope you enjoy reading these stories and recreating these recipes, as much as I enjoy sharing them!
