The woman who has influenced me most in the kitchen is Julia Child. She always had such fun on her shows. She made the kitchen an attractive place to hang out.

One of my favorite memories in the kitchen is with both my mom and grandma as we teamed together to make Lefse. I was in Junior High at the time and I remember how we went through each step to mix it and how grandma rolled it out with her special roller and mom and I cooked them on the griddles. I can still taste how great they were! Lots of love went into making them! My grandmother passed away in 2004 and there are many days I wish I could visit with her still. Each time I make a recipe she taught me I think fondly of being with her in her kitchen.

My mom has influenced me most in the kitchen. As a young girl, I used to help my mom cook for extravagent dinner parties she threw. My favorite memory in the kitchen with with her is when we had to crank out 100 samosa’s (indian version of dumplings) and we were having so much fun, time passed without any problem. Soon towards the end we realized that instead of making 100, we were close to 200! I love this experience with her, and now I often teach my girlfriends how to make samosa’s and bond during that time.

The most influential woman in my life (and in the kitchen) would be my grandmother. At grandma’s house she let you sit ON the counter right next to the mixing bowl and help out. She even taught me to scrap out of the shell all the egg white with your finger (can you tell she grew up in the Depression?!). It’s something I have tried to not do now that I’m grown, but it’s such a habit – and I am teaching my kids to scrap the whites now too! And lets not forget the reward of licking off the beaters when done! Yum!

I learned how to cook from my mom. In the summertime, she would let me plan a meal once a week and cook it for the family. Her encouragement even when things didn’t go so well was amazing! I love to cook for my own family now and owe that to my mom!amymccathran@hotmail.com

Rachel Ray changed my world! I can’t believe how easy she made things look. Her recipes gave me confidence to branch out and try more.

My mom is the most influential person in regards to the kitchen. She taught me to love vegetables and to make a point of eating as a family.Kim G.

one of my favorite kitchen memories is of standing on a stool in my aunt’s kitchen learning to cut radishes and tomatoes into flowers to use as decorative garnish. she was always cooking and always, always included me in whatever she was doing – my mother is an amazing cook, too, but it was in my aunt’s kitchen that my own love of cooking truly began.emma

My favorite memory in the kitchen is with my mom and sister, baking blackberry pies from scratch with blackberries picked from our “garden” (qualifying it since blackberries were weeds in our garden). We would spend all day baking lots of pies, and end up covered in flour and blackberry juice.
Deb S says
My mom is the biggest kitchen influence; I fondly remember sitting on the kitchen counter waiting to lick the beaters after the batch of cookies was mixed up. My girls have done the same thing.
Vanessa says
I learned to cook from my mom. She didn’t cook much growing up, but was not afraid to try new things. She has a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook that is almost worn out and this is where she learned all the techniques and also how to be a gracious hostess. I loved sitting with her looking through that book to decide what to try next.
