My mother, a fantastic cook, has made us many many great meals over the years. The most memorable, however, was the meal gone wrong. It looked like it would be perfect-- roasted chicken, potatoes, and broccoli. The chicken was covered in sweet paprika and garlic powder, or so we thought. One bite revealed that it was oodles of HOT paprika and something we couldn't quite place. Oh that's it... ground ginger, not garlic. On both the chicken AND the potatoes. It was the only meal ever thrown away in our home. Thank goodness for pizza delivery.

everything bagel, whipped cream cheese, lox, and onions. A thick slice of tomato, if it's in season is a nice addition.

My Korean wedding banquet. OK, she had help, but I know her food and her organizational skills and so I can confidently say, she prepared this meal. And it was amazing and I will always remember it.

Mom rarely puts her heart into cooking. About twenty years ago, though, she prepared meat fondue -- that was great fun! And most memorable. Loved cooking my beef and chicken in the hot oil at the table. She also allowed all of us to make our own assortment of dipping sauces. My brother mixed grape jelly with godknowswhat. We all laughed. It's a shame we never had it again.

Her cooking and baking was so phenomenal, it's impossible to choose. She was always trying new recipes, especially from Julia and Jacques. I loved her pies and gratins.
