Grandma's salad


I just had to add this image my hubby emailed it to me from the UK, he went to see his sister with back pain, today he went to visit my Grandparents and he ate this and tea and her famous chocolate cake, wish me and Jasmine were there. Aw well I spoke with everyone on skype, and took my father in law safely to the airport for his long journey back to India.

My Mum in Law returns here in a week, so will get some more Indian recipes for us all, will be stocked up on tea and British goodies again soon.

I am blessed to have a lovely family, what have your family done to support your love of food?  

Love

    What haven't I done? Whenever I can, I try to talk with my grandmothers about recipes, and if I am with them, I try to cook their recipes. It's always fun and it's more recipes to add to my recipe binder.

    Cool! I wish this was available when my family was still around...thank goodness I paid attention when my mom and grandmother were cooking, for some reason it stuck in my brain...

    I love Indian food, and my clients mom (they are Indian) is here for a few months, as she retired recently, and has cooked for me, YUM!

  6. Cooking with tienAugust 30, 2009 at 10:41 PM

    My hubby is insisting that I feast with friends once a week while he babysits so that I can experience social eating without cooking. How's that for support. I am documenting both our Mom's recipes for our kids to remember. I only wished that I started this 18 years ago when I met my husband. -Tien

    We like the Shanghainese food my mom cooks and my family/relatives like the food I cook for them, so I guess that's how and when I started building my passion for food and cooking.

    Skype is pretty awesome especially with international calling. Amazingly my family and friends a pretty much open to any and most foods, so I'm pretty lucky that I don't have to be careful in what I have to cook or order at a restaurant.
