Lessons from two kitchens

It’s not an uncommon thing, really…a mother teaching her daughter some things in the kitchen (from scrambling an egg when she’s young to preparing the proverbial “way to a man’s heart” as she grows older). But what is truly unusual about this blog is that the mother and daughter learn from each other.

The mother has been around the chopping block a few times and the daughter is just gaining her momentum as hostess, entertainer and cook. And yet, the daughter, fraught with anxiety over working full-time and trying to be “all that”, has discovered some simpler ways of doing things…an easier way to make a recipe when she doesn’t have time to shop in three stores for the ingredients…a short-cut for preparing a time-consuming dish…a more cost-effective menu for a young person’s budget. And, guess what…she has a lot to teach her mother about “all that”!

Consider it a “Gilmore Girls meet Martha Stewart” scenario. (And if you have to ask who the Gilmore Girls are…you’re not going to understand). We are a domestic duo of two generations with a tendency to be sassy (hey, it’s genetic).

So let’s get going, but know this: We will be always truthful about recipes and will ALWAYS give credit for the source (if we have it). We will always critique a recipe, restaurant, cookbook, or whatever with total honesty. Take from it what you will, but we are here to throw into the cyber-food universe what we have found that works for both generations.
