Family Fare: A Mugnolo Family Cookbook
(eBook)

The "Joy" of Creative Cooking I believe that anyone can cook. People who can't cook, I suppose, are people who don't want to cook. Of course, that is everyone's privilege. When I was single, I had one of the best "chefs" in the world right under my nose - my mother and didn't realize it until much later in my life...when at last I really did want to cook - for my husband first, then my children, friends and family. I suppose a little of my mother's talents did rub off on me and, over the years, I began to marvel at how "creative" cooking can be and how very personal. Sharing what I cooked with others soon brought me to realize that I was actually sharing more than just the food I cooked, also an intimate expression of love and friendship! Julia Child once said... "Cook by ear...learn to cook! This is done simply by learning as you go. Remember this old English Proverb: "Nothing is invented and perfected at the same time!" Don't be afraid to experiment a little with food and enjoy...oh, and yes...always remember to leave a little time to "stop and smell the roses along life's way!" I wish you "Joy!" Buon Appetito!
