My inspiration in the kitchen has to be my mom. She is such a great cook and rarely uses actual recipes. She always cooks for a crowd even when there isnt one and our “friends” are always welcome at her table no matter who they are. One of my fondest memories as a kid was making rosettes (these fried cookie things that were then covered in powdered sugar) with my mom in the kitchen-how could you go wrong with that? Thanks katie-hope I win!! 🙂 Erin J.

My Mom did not cook when I was growing up but my best friends mother did and she had a great influence on me. I loved being at their home for home made sit down family meals. I knew that this would be something that I wanted for my own family some day. We have several sit down family meals every week and I put a high priority on it in our home. Now I include my daughters in the meal preparation just like my best friends mom did with us. This woman had such a big influence on my that 30 years later she is still a role model for me and a big part of my life.

Definitely my mother. She cooked a real dinner every night, which many people can’t say about their mothers. And she doesn’t stick to the same old meals — she loves trying new things.

My MOM has definitely been the biggest influence for me in the kitchen! If she gets asked for a recipe, she kinda giggles and says, “Oh, I just add some of this and that until it tastes good.”The first place everyone goes upon arriving at her house is the freezer-that is where the choc. chip cookies are stored…..Yum-O! I hope one day to become the cook my mother is!

The memories of my childhood mostly are from our kitchen; my siblings and I would do everything in there; cook, bake, play and eat. We’d even bring our mattresses and bedding to the kitchen, throw it on the floor and jump from the kitchen counter right on top of it. Yes, my parents were pretty laid-back 🙂 My favourite thing to do in the kitchen was baking with my mom; chocolate cake… We’d make it so often than by aged 8 I almost knew the recipe by heart. The best part was licking the bowl of course.

My favorite memories in the kitchen are with my grandmother. I used to sleep over at her house and breakfast was always poached eggs in little china egg cups and toast with me sitting at her island with legs dangling, wearing one of her silky nightgowns. She would always buy egg knots to serve with our sunday dinners and she would slip one to me b/c she knew they were my favorite while spagetti sauce simmered on the stove for sunday dinners….She was definately the person who made me want to spend time in the kitchen and ties me to my italian roots:) – monica-rideit4@comcast.net

Well I am Canadian but have a wonderful friend in teh USA so perhaps I can enter and give it to her if I win.If not, I’d still like to share that it was my grandmother!We grew up living right next door to them and every Saturday we baked bread with Gramma. We’d get it all ready and then put it to bed to rise (they had a waterbed!). Gram always let us make our own creations too. She made yummy donuts and so much more.Gram is having health problems right now and I’ve been thinking a lot about the impact that this wonderful godly woman had on my life and praise Him that I have had her this long!

What a great giveaway!! Wow! From the time I was a little girl, Santa always brought me these kits that had cake and cookie mini-mixes, frostings, cake pans, spoons, etc.( I think they were the forerunner of Easy Bake Ovens.) My fascination with baking was born!! My mom made the best meals, and I did the baking…quite the team! Today, I love Food Blogs and collecting cookbooks.luv2bake~

When I was first married my husband had a good friend that worked at an amazing restaurant. That GUY taught me tons (made me look good at dinner parties with his amazing advise). The rest of my kitchen ed is due to FOOD network. (I loooove Giada!)
