MAMAS HOME COOKING IS THE BEST IN THE CITY

When I was a young girl, my mama always bring me to our family restaurant. she wanted me to see how foods are cooked and prepared in the restaurant. In my age, the only thing in my mind was the food tasting in the restaurant because there are lots of them in the kitchen. My mama always make it sure that during summer, when I am doing nothing, she will bring me to the restaurant. She event told em about a cooking secret in the family. Our restaurant that time was known for its beef steak . Mama always tell me how to cook it and the preparation of cooking it. It was really a summer event for me.

When I was already entering college, mama gave me something that she said to me that I must keep forever. I can only hand it to my successor when I am old. When I looked at the bag, it was a cook book or a recipe book. Mama told me to study it and learn the dishes in the recipe book because it is a tradition that is handed from one generation to another. The recipe book was already 90 years old and the pages are still in good shape. The recipes inside the cook book was our family business and it must be kept secret.

After culinary school, I kept the family business rolling and incorporated some new dishes. I also share this recipes in Article Alley where I share my opinions also. Now as a chef, I maintained all the recipes in the restaurant. I might give the family recipe book to my daughter someday. I want the legacy of cooking in the family to continue. By giving the recipe book to my successor, I know the the family tradition leaves on in cooking.
