[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in the eastern part of Germany and we had a vegetable/fruit garden, just for context. My maternal grandmother and mom were great cooks and bakers. I learned mostly from my grandma because my mom was impatient and hated it when I made a mess. My paternal grandmother cooked a lot of Polish-influenced dishes (she came from an area that had been occupied by Germany). As a kid I didn't like her food except for the pirogies, she made her own dough and filled them with fresh strawberries. Sadly, I didn't get the recipe. I still cook sauerkraut her way (thickened with roux and bacon). I then came to the US and learned more cooking skills from watching Martha Stewart's show and the Food Channel. I am a pretty good cook and enjoy cooking when I have time and motivation. My kids all like to cook to varying degrees. Oh, the men in my family don't really cook but my brother became a professional chef! [/quote]
