Also my grandmother and her sisters. Pestered comes to mind But they were patient and explained things to me. I still remember mistakes, but by the time I was 8, I was cooking for the family. Luckily, everyone was satisfied with basics I remember a lot of soup, sandwiches, casseroles and BBQ (thanks, Dad!)

My parents had a grocery store, so the house was supplied with the food of the 50s and 60s. They had tried a garden, but everyone was so busy, they stopped trying.

I think all of us kids were prepared for adult life. I think I learned more about ethnic food, country cooking and baking after I was an adult. I have a lot of cookbooks from my family and from sales we went to.

You're truly lucky to have a source of exotic food and seasonings. I'd like to stretch a bit. There is still so much I'd like to try
