I am a Japanese, Filipino, Spanish and English American - so there were always wonderful dishes prepared in our home, with wonderful aromas, particularly during the holidays. I married into an Hispanic family, and have inherited multi-cultural recipes. There's nothing nicer than great food and large family gatherings to warm your soul. New recipes! Family favorites, and quick & easy! Holiday cooking usually includes turkey with all the trimmings, and sushi! Or baked ham with all the trimmings, and sushi! There is no greater triumph than watching my husband, children, and grandchildren devour my cooking. Are rare. I made an expensive dip recently from an untried recipe; my garbage disposal gobbled it up!
