She shared her recipes and knowledge with me, starting when I needed a step stool to see the top of the counter. She let me mix batters, scoop cookies and measure dry ingredients. She got me a kitchen playset and placed it in the kitchen, so when she was making a meal I could not help with, I could ‘cook’ along with her. "I had so much fun in the kitchen with her! That love of cooking carried through to my adult years and eventually inspired me to go to culinary school to refine my knowledge and develop skills I can share with others like my mom did with me!"
