My family has always cooked. Every family event involved time in the kitchen and I learned a little bit of something different from them all.

My fathers mother was an amazing cook. She could cook anything from scratch and did. She taught me how to measure by sight... taste and adjust my ingredients, and how to use my imagination and improvise.

My grandmother on my mothers side taught me a lot about "almost homemade" cooking and how to use cheap and quick things from the cupboards to make something no one would guess you didn't make from scratch. She was also the canner in my family... and I still love to can some of the things she made every year... like zucchini relish and chili sauce.
