I grew up watching my grandmother cook. I also had the opportunity to watch my friends parents cooking. So I got to experience a wide variety of meals from around the world being prepared by real homemakers. crepes lasangna salads Slavic meals are what I was mostly exposed to while growing up. My 5 meat 5 layer lasangna ROCKS! Baking is my weakness but since trying the new silicone baking pans it has improved.
