I have very fond memories of my grandmother, Iona, and it was she who influenced me the most in the kitchen. From the time I was a young child up until my early teens I spent my weekends with my grandmother and a huge chunk of my summers as well. Being in the kitchen and cooking was what she loved best and indeed it was what she did best. Always in her apron from sun up until sun down (except when gardening) she cooked, and cooked and canned for hours on end. She had a huge garden in which she grew just about anything you can imagine. She canned everything, including meat and froze many others. She also had a big cellar where everything was stored. Everythng back then she made from scratch and of course recipes and measuring spoons were never used. Meals were always full course and well rounded. This is all how and why she ended up being a huge influence on me. Even today I make everything from scratch and do not own a bread machine. The unfortunate thing is how I didn’t pay attention to the gardening and canning like I should have. It is something I grew to regret and still regret today. I love to cook and bake and I owe that to my grandmother. Oh how I wish I could garden and can like she did, too.Jody S.

My Mother has influenced me the most in the kitchen. I owe everything to my her for being such a great cook and baker. When I was little I use to help her in the kitchen before she got really sick with M.S. Then when she couldn’t I took over and cooked after school. Today I have a daughter who shares the same enthusiasm as I did when I was her age. She is always baking something and she is tweleve years old.

The most influential women for in the kitchen and good food was my grandma. Every Sunday we will go and eat at her house. She had a garden and a small farm, and by doing this food even taste better. It was simple food but really comforting and even though she is not here anymore I still can remember how her food tasted, thanks Laura B

I’d have to say my Mom is my influencer in the kitchen. I like to learn her tips and tricks for cooking!

Definitely my mom, who learned down home country cooking from HER mom (my daughter’s namesake) and fancy shmancy entertaining cooking (MY favorite) from her mother-in-law (my namesake). Elinore M

One of the most influential women for me in the kitchen was my grandmother… my dad’s mom. Her coconut pie (which I never tried because eww- coconut is not msy thing) won awards and her chocolate pie was to die for. At her funeral in 2007, her cooking and pies were talked about… a lot. She always made things from scratch and seemed to find great joy in it. I think I got that from her. There are many legacies that she has left in my life and cooking is just one of them.

My biggest kitchen inspiration is my Mom. She taught me so much and I have learned to cook from her. I love that still today, we consult each other over the phone on new ideas and recipes to try. It is a fun part of our relationship. Katherine C.

My Gramma John was amazing in the kitchen. She visited us once and stayed about 2-3 months to get away from the snow and help my Mom with a new baby. She taught us how to make our first casserole, Laura Doone Raspberry frozen dessert, Lemon Meringue Pie, Chocolate Chip cookies, pretzel dessert… the list continues. She was very creative in all aspects of cooking and baking. I am so thankful to have spent that time with her in the kitchen.
