Where are you? NY
What food-related topic are you most passionate about, that you want people to ask you about and you can’t stop talking about it?
I am passionate about traditional, authentic cooking. “You may ask, how did this tradition get started? I’ll tell you. I don’t know. But it’s a tradition” I love making homemade breads with my husband who is the expert, especially authentic NYC style bagels - the kind my great grandfather used to make - that I love with my lox or chopped chicken liver for Sunday brunch. I have many bookmarks of youtube videos of old grandmothers from around the world in their kitchens (many with just a bowl and a wooden spoon), making incredible, traditional meals from scratch. Those are my favorite recipes to make and share.
What’s a great food experience you have had?
That is a great question. My Mom (who instilled in me the love for reading and writing), gave me a book many many years ago written by Laura Esquivel called “Like Water for Chocolate” which describes beautifully how all of our senses relate to foods that then mix into our life experiences (they have great recipes in the book as well!) For me, my favorite life experiences are related to food and reading from the above posts, it seems like it is for all of you as well.
My earliest memory was me standing on a stool in front of our tiny kitchen counter watching my mother make her schnitzel and feeling like I was the most important person in the world because she let me beat the eggs (when she was done, I used to eat the leftover egg/breadcrumb batter that the raw meat was dipped in - don’t ask me why… or why she was never worried that I could have gotten salmonella poisoning - which I never did btw). I couldn’t wait to have kids so I could pass down the joy of cooking with them. A great majority of our time as a couple, then as a family was (and still is) spent in the kitchen - although neither of my kids ever asked to eat the leftover batter 
A little tidbit about you (a few)
I put vinegar on my fries; I love the smell of wood and spices; I soak basil in olive oil for a few days and sprinkle it on my pizza; I love garlic and I am a person who is not only passionate about food and life, but who loves to laugh and joke around so don’t take me too seriously, even if I forget the emoji.
