My mom wasn't very into cooking but when we first moved to Canada one of the first dishes she made was Shake N Bake chicken, for memories alone this will always remind me of her.

Actually, I am not a cook! My mother made wonderful meals, but I have never had much interest in cooking. My husband enjoys cooking and He would enjoy Anna's cookbook that is filled with elegant, no-fuss meals! My mother-in-law can put together a great meal in minutes using what is on hand. She is definitely my husband's mentor. Please enter us in your cookbook drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

I must say that my culinary mentor is the internet.... which in essence.... is all of you! I love to eat out at new restaurants and have loads of fun coming home to "surf" for recipes of the tastiest dishes that I have come had the pleasure of eating. The internet is such a wonderful place..... it is like having access to everyone's kitchen! Thanks to all of you!
