Despite the fact that my biscuit-making, pressure-cooking grandmother lived with my family as I grew up, I didn’t learn one thing in the kitchen from her. My own mother kept me out. It was never said, but it was implied: “You shouldn’t be cooking. Go […]

November 12, 2012 | By | Comments (5)

My love affair with peanut butter started early. One of my first memories in the kitchen is of my grandmother making my lunch, the lunch I had every single day— PB&J. But not just any PB&J.
