I learned to cook from my grandmother, who was a self-taught home cook. I was encouraged to cook at home by my mother, who allowed me to experiment and feed our family while I was growing up. Now, I cook for my husband and four children, who have perfected the role of taste-testers. What I've come up with are simple, family-friendly dishes based on my grandmother's recipes and my own understanding of how food works together. Gone are the canned and processed ingredients of yore-- instead you'll find fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients combined in ways to suit every palate, and simple enough that even the most novice home cook can execute them perfectly. In short, it's not quite my grandmother's cooking, anymore.
