My favorite family cooking traditions
My childhood was filled with all types of homemade German Jewish/Eastern European goodies. I helped my mom with cooking everyday.
My own family is more towards French cooking.
(My husband is a retired French chef so we cook a lot of French style food). However, I'm careful, so I don't love cooking with too much butter and cream in all our food. I guess I cook a more Mediterranean style cooking.
My cooking triumphs
Have not made my husband sick with my cooking, yet!
I cook supper almost every night, and use only wholesome fresh ingredients.
My cooking tragedies
I once read a recipe for chicken w/ Garlic.
It called for roasting the chicken with 10 "cloves" of garlic, I misread it and used 10 BULBS of garlic stuffed into the chicken and under the skin. Not delicious!
My French chef husband thinks most of what I cook is a tragedy!
:-) He thinks having pieces of carrots cut slightly larger then each other is a tragedy! He has no choice and eats my food anyway, he loves to complain. I'm an excellent home cook.
