My fondest kitchen memories are of my great-grandmother in the kitchen. She would make a big breakfast every morning after the work on the farm was done. She would roll out biscuits every single day and they were the best things you could ever imagine. I kept asking her for her recipe and she could never give it to me because it was just, “A little of this and a little of that.” When she passed away, she took that recipe with her, but I have her biscuit cutter sitting in my kitchen window so I can remember those mornings with her in her kitchen.

My mother influenced me the most in the kitchen because she was the best cook I have ever known.She would cook all meals and baked goods from scratch and show me step by step what she was doing. She had so much patience and never once got angry or aggravated when I messed up. She wanted me to love baking like her and to have fun while doing it. Before my wonderful mother passed away we would bake Christmas cookies for everyone in the family and every year we would try a new recipe to surprise everyone. Yes she was the best teacher and I still love cooking and baking. I followed her example and I was the same way with my 3 daughters and they too love baking. I will always miss those special moments.

My mom is my biggest influence in the kitchen. She’s a wonderful cook because she’s always trying new recipes/techniques. She taught me how to read a recipe, how to ‘throw stuff together’ AND not to be scared to try something new. The worst than can happen is that it doesn’t taste good. 😉

definitely my grandmother. She had 5 kids, 11 grandkids and 8 great grandkids. We’d all gather and she’d cook the most awesome meals, especially in the summer.addeviant006 at gmail dot com

I think my Nana is probably the person who has most influenced me in the kitchen. She is from Italy and cooks the most amazing food with no recipes or anything. It’s always a feast when we eat at her house! I hope to be able to that someday. tornem(at)yahoo.com

My favorite memory is making peanut butter cookies with my Grandma.

My favorite memory in the kitchen would be spending Christmas break with my grandmother baking. She would teach me all her special tricks and it would give me a chance to spend quality time with her.

My favorite memory in the kitchen would be making Christmas cookies with my grandmother each year while growing up. She would show me all her special tricks. It was wonderful getting to spend so much quality time with her and learning how to bake from the best!This is such a wonderful giveaway to honor Mothers! Thanks!

My grandmother influenced me in many ways in the kitchen, but not like many others’ grandmothers did. She wasn’t the sweet old lady baking cookies, but the one who experimented with food constantly. My family is very conservative when it comes to food, and often her experiments ended up in the trash. But I did learn from her to think outside the box when it comes to food and not to be afraid of strange flavor combinations.

my favorite memory in the kitchen is back in Israel when I was a little girl. my mom and grandmother would be cooking and talking. I sat on the red stool with my legs hangings watching them. my grandmother made borscht and would add 2 spoonfuls of sugar to the pot which was very amusing to me. she told me it was to match the sweetness coming from my lips when I ate the borscht. as an adult I found out it was to counteract the acidity. my mom would stand and form katletas which are the Russian version of a turkey meatball with spices, onions, mayo, breadcrumbs and eggs. my 8 year old eyes would be mesmerized watching her knead the meat and then form it into an oval and somewhat flat ball. the food was delicious and as an adult now when I make borscht I add 2 teaspoons of sugar and remember my beloved grandma. then, when I’m ready to form my katletas I usually call my mom first and go over the ingredients list just to make sure I haven;t missed anything. my mom knows that I remember but we love to reminisce and talk about grandma. both women have played a major role in my life and have given me support, advice and love through old fashioned recipes and lots of conversation with a bowl of grandma’s borscht.

One of my greatest memories in the kitchen was when I was child and my family would go to my grandparent’s for Sunday dinner. The house alway smelled so delightful and our entire family would gather around the kitchen table to eat, talk, and enjoy one another’s company. My grandma, mom, and aunt (as well as my three sisters–although they were not women at the time) were all there. All of these females have had a great influence in my life. The other day I drove past my grandparent’s house and it is for sale-my grandparents passed away a few years ago. I got out of my car and got one of the flyers and realized that their entire house was only 969 square feet! It never seemed that small. I loved that so many happy memories were made in such a tiny space.
