My mother loved food, good food. And she loved cooking to bring us all together, especially over a big meal on the weekends. My passion – and my daughters’ passion – for doing the same was inherited from her. She cooked Lebanese dishes and so as I grew up, all I knew was Lebanese food and that’s what I continue to cook. If we wanted good Italian, we’d go to an Italian restaurant!
As my own children were growing up, Sunday mornings were particularly special. I felt it important to pass my mother’s and grandmother’s recipes down to them, and we cooked together.
