I was definately influenced by my mom. I don’t think she loves to cook as much as I do, but she always made us dinner every night and we had dinner together as a family. Birthdays, holidays, and celebrations were always centered around food. It gave me a greater appreciation of food and preparing it with love for others like she did.

My favorite memory from being a kid in the kitchen would be baking with my mother and my Omi for Christmas…there were dozens and dozens of different cookies…we gave them to absolutely everyone…and always had tons for Christmas eve too.Most influental woman in the kitchen would be my Mom – she is a great cook, even if she only uses recipes! And she taught me to love being in the kitchen and making great food for my family.Thanks for organizing this….the prizes are drool-worthy!Take Care,Tania

What is your favorite memory in the kitchen with an important woman in your life?My favorite memory is with my sister-in-law. When I was dating her brother, we used to stay up late at night baking yummy goodies in the kitchen. One particular night, we decided to bake a cake from scratch. We got the cake all baked and then decided to make the icing as well. As we read through the ingredients we saw one that called for “confectioners sugar”. We thought to ourselves, “What’s confectioners sugar? It’s gotta be just regular sugar, right?” So we went ahead and used regular granulated sugar. Of course that was a big mistake. The icing turned out all crunchy and not tasting good at all! We ended up scraping it off the top and eating the cake all by itself! We still laugh about it to this day! She even mentioned it in her wedding programs when she wrote a little blurb about each of her attendants!

My mom owned a restaurant when I was little and I remember spending days and nights baking and making messes. I wish she hadn’t sold that place, I think I’d still be there.Betsy F

My favorite memory in the kitchen goes back to when I was maybe 9 or 10 years old. I used to bake Zucchini Bread with my mom. The memories of these times are precious, seeing as how my mother really doesn’t cook or bake all that much. We would spend hours cutting up zucchini (julienned, I believe) together. It was an all day affair. As a mother, looking back on this, I have a new appreciation for it. My mother chose to do this despite the fact that it was out of her element. She chose to bake with me to be able to spend quality mother/daughter time together. 🙂

My favorite memory in the kitchen is my mom teaching me to bake and cook and giving her a hard time about not measuring things. Guess what?! I do that now–thanks, Mom! :)Thanks for the giveaway!

My mom has been a great inspiration, not only in cooking, but in savoring good food. We love to eat together!

When I was living in San Fran, my sister and a group of friends starting a Supper Club. We picked themes and everyone cooked a dish and brought it or brought the ingredients and cooked at whoever was hosting house. It taught me all kinds of things about food and the kitchen being with these women. We had great dishes and some flops but we kept meeting and sharing great ideas. It made me realize you can make great meals and home and its great to share them with friends. Before this, I never really cooked, only heated.Mercedez F.

Q-1. What woman has influenced you the most in the kitchen, and why?A-1. Mt Aunt was a big influence on me. She and my Uncle live on 30+ acres of land in the country and every time I would visit her I was always amazed at how they live off the land and raise the majority of their food needs. Growing up in the city, I figured everything came from the store or you just didn't have it.My Aunt taught me the art of home canning & preserving, money saving meal preparations, the attitude of "the best things in life are worth working for." She is truly an inspiration to me. Now that I am married this has helped me to be a wife and home keeper. Q-2. What is your favorite memory in the kitchen with an important woman in your life?A-2. My favorite memory I guess would be the time that my Mother, my Aunt and myself (age 13) were all in the canning kitchen at my Aunt's house (she has a household kitchen and a canning kitchen…it's awesome) and we were learning how to make homemade grape jelly from grapes that we had just picked that morning. Although my Mother cooked, she was not very domestic in things like my Aunt so this was so fun to have everyone together learning, cooking, talking and laughing together. Our family isn't very close so to have this opportunity to be together in this fashion was a blessing. Now that I think back on it, this was the last time that they were together. That was over 20+ years ago. How sad now that I think about it. **I have subscribed to the updates via email**I have also voted for you for the "Best Food Blog"Thanks for hosting this super awesome giveaway!

My best memory is with my Grandma. She decided to teach me how to bake when I was 8. We spent all day in the kitchen as she taught me about meassurments, ingredients, and most of all the special bodning that took place…priceless!
