My favorite memory from being in the Kitchen is from during the holidays all of the women and little girls in the family, grandmothers, mothers, aunts cousins and sisters would get together to bake cookies. Now that there aren’t that many of us around my mom and I still do it with my daughter. There’s just something about a bunch of women baking cookies.tommyandjenn at cox.net

Your website is great Katie! Q: What woman has influenced you the most in the kitchen, and why.A: My Mom was never the best cook, nor did she often look forward to it, but she was still influential. What she taught me most is that with creativity a little can go a long way and that simple foods can still taste great.Angela Welker

One of the favorite memories of my mother has to be when we would make cookies. She always let me help her and never became upset if I ate the cookie dough.mstaken05 at gmail dot com

The woman who has influenced me most in the kitchen is definitely my mom. She not only taught me all the basics of cooking and baking, but she gave me and my siblings free reign to experiment in the kitchen. Now I am so excited to start teaching and encouraging my daughter to love and appreciate home-cooked food.

My favorite memory in the kitchen with my mom was when I was about 7 or 8. It was Winter, and I remember walking home from school cold and sniffling. As I walked into the kitchen, I could smell my mom’s fresh-baked bread, still warm on the counter. My mom always had me brush butter on the tops of the loaves and let it melt before we cut into them. A big piece of hot buttered bread is still the best way for me to get warm! She instilled in me a love of baking, and how baking for those you love can make your house a warm home.I subscribed via RSS.

I can clearly remember my step father teaching my mother to cook. It was an exercise in absurdity but my mom kept plugging away at it until she finally got it and then she started teaching me (mostly I think because she hated cooking but it felt like she was passing on powerful and magical knowledge).I have so many wonderful memories of Christmas baking- it’s the only time of year my mom likes to bake. Me, my mom and my sister all stand side by side with our hands in various doughs and there is when I am in all my glory. For me, cooking with my mom and sister makes me feel peaceful and whole. fidgetblogs@gmail.com

My mother influenced me most in the kitchen. She is a great cook and I would push her forward to make a meal for any form of entertainment. This is why I can’t wait to visit with her so that my kids can eat from her hands!

Julia Child has definitely influenced me. She’s such a strong woman, and I love her attitude that basically eschews diet food and embraces healthy portion sizes.
Sarah says
My favorite memory in the kitchen is mixing & baking the wildest creations my brother and I could think of, with our mom standing nearby (usually rolling her eyes). I'll never forget the time we made "Blueberry, coffee, chocolate, oatmeal PIE". Mmm, it was so good! Well, at 12, we thought it was good!
Kristen M. says
My favorite kitchen memories are cooking with my mom (who is also my most influential person in the kitchen). She made homemade cookies and bread and taught me how to cook from scratch. Meals were not always fancy but they were wholesome and good. I love to cook, thanks to my mom.

I am not a woman, but my wife is! She is beginning to teach our 6 year old daughter everything she needs to know in the kitchen. It is so sweet! They make tons of christmas cookies and snacks and desserts.

What woman has influenced you the most in the kitchen, and why.Although my mom was a great cook, she detested housework and cooking, so I confess that I was soured to kitchen work for a long time. I found my inspiration elsewhere, in the amazing Julia Child, Jacques Pepin, and Sara Moulton. The lessons learned from them have made me truly enjoy nurishing my family with delicious foods.
