My Mom. Even when I became a vegetarian she was determined to make sure that I had delicious food and would cook me things that I oculd eat with a good conscience. She passed away before I could learn a lot of things from her hands on in the kitchen, but she died about a month before my 21st birthday, and she had started a recipe box for me as my birthday present, and now I cook from that. And think of her with every meal I make.misusedinnocence@aol.com

My favorite memory in the kitchen with my mom was when she would make homemade applesauce. She would usually put cinnamon in it and you could smell the apples and cinnamon throughout the whole house. I loved when she made applesauce and let me help stir!!!I am also going to follow your blog and tweet about this on twitter!!

I think that the women who have influenced me most in the kitchen are the fellow farmers and gardeners that I have had the pleasure of sharing food with. Women cooking fresh food, they grew, with other women, often times not only cooking, but preserving the harvest as well for later use. This is what women in the kitchen meas to me.

My Mom is my hero in the kitchen, she is amazing. I loved cooking with her growing up and to this day I will always call her for recipes. I hope one day they will come out as good as hers do!

Wow Katie – I’ve been out of the blog browsing world lately. What an impressive giveaway – VERY impressive!My Grandma would always make the pies for holidays. I remember her spending the night before making the crusts and spend time that night and the day of making the actually fillings. Chocolate cream, banana cream, coconut cream, apple, pumpkin, pecan… everything. She always put them out on the lay down freezer with towels underneath them. I remember that being my favorite place in her house on the holidays… a plethora of pies!

My favorite memories in the kitchen are with my grandmother when I was a child. I remember baking with her and helping to make dinner. I always felt so special that I got to help. I remember making cakes and homemade macaroni and cheese. The food always tasted better when I got to help make it. Thanks so much for the giveaway!!

My favorite kitchen memory comes around once every year—all of my sisters, my mom, my grandma, and I in the kitchen making chimichangas for Christmas Eve. I have a great heritage from these women.

All the women in my family are excellent cooks! My favorite memory is when my Mom was sick I decided to make her brownies to cheer her up. I was young and not allowed to use the oven so I made her microwave brownies. I mixed the ingredients and put them in the metal pan and into the microwave they went (it didn’t catch fire surprisingly enough). When Mom woke up I showed her the brownies, I was so proud. She smiled and thanked me and then said but we don’t have the ingredients to make brownies. You see I had used Nestlequick for cocoa, and granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar. I even sprinkled nerds on top. Those brownies stayed in the fridge for weeks, but neither of us were brave enough to try them. Even with a cooking disaster like that she remained calm and even appreciative. Thanks Mom!

I have great memories of cooking with my mom in our little kitchen. We had so much fun making chocolate chip cookies together and they never taste as good as when she is not baking them with me!

My mom is my biggest influence in my own kitchen. When I was growing up, we had mostly “meat and potatoes” fare. But as I have become a little more gourmet-saavy, I am realizing that my mom had quite a bit of gourmet-ness in her own arsenal. Who knew that we were actually eating bechamel sauce when we thought we were just having “Mom’s white sauce!”
Andrea says
My grandmother influenced me in the kitchen the most. She taught me how to cook from scratch. I love all of her southern recipes!

My mom influenced me most in the kitchen. She raised 5 kids, and had dinner on the table every night. She has a lot of meals that come together quick, and also alot of comfort food. When I was first married, I would make way too much food for just the 2 of us, I was used to a bigger crowd. Now I have 2 kids, and getting dinner together every night is my biggest challenge of the day. I try to focus on fresh foods, vegetables, fruits, etc., with some protein, my husband is a carnivore.
