Mom... How do You...? (eBook)

If you love to bake, like I do, somewhere along the way, someone had to introduce you to the joy of transforming that recipe you just had to try into something that is actually edible! For many of us, it was our mom. Maybe you grew up at her side, helping first by getting to lick the spoon, or maybe the eggbeater, or even that special treasure - the BOWL! I still can't resist trying out the batter of any recipe I happen to be trying out. I insist it is because I need to know if it is good!As you got older, you'd help by adding in the ingredients that she had carefully measured out. Sometimes, it would even end up in the mixing bowl! Eventually, we'd graduate to trying out that recipe ourselves - under Mom's strict supervision, of course!Mom... How do You...? is One Mom's collection of recipes, stories, and household hints. It is written in an informative and easy to follow format and is peppered with stories and reminiscing. ?Every time I bake, it takes me back to those days. The days I shared with my mom; the joy we both found in baking. Thank you, Mom! I've been privileged to be able to share similar times with my two children and I hope that their memories are as fond as mine.The idea for this book came from many conversations with my grown children who would call me up or send me a message online and ask me... "e;Mom, how do you...?"e; Well, sometimes the answer was at hand or deep in the recesses of memory, but other times I would have to go searching for a recipe or an answer. So, it is for that reason that I dedicate this book to my children. So, sometimes they will have the answer at hand.One thing that is a little different in this book compared to most cookbooks and household hint books is that with many, there is a story that goes along with it. I also have included a short story at the beginning of chapters, just for fun and to share, mostly for my kids. Now, if you are like me, sometimes you buy cookbooks, not for the recipes, but to read!
