Moms’ Recipes Rock
by Lynne | Sunday, November 2nd, 2008
Who better to teach us how to cook than the wonderful moms who prepare meals for a tough crowd - their families. We feel very lucky to have a number of moms on our site who have been generous in sharing the recipes their families love most. Susan Zubatkin is a mother of 2 children who are on their own now but still stay close to home to be near her - and the amazing Savory Roll-Ups she makes (not to mention her sweetly tart Ginger Cranberry Sauce). Jane Ziegelman not only inspires her own kids to cook but many others. She is the Director of Kids Cook! in Brooklyn and teaches children social studies through food and cooking. And these kids aren’t making P, B & J (not that there’s anything wrong with that). They’re making Pasta from Scratch and other seriously delicious meals. And are they good! Jane Chiarelli is also a mother of 2 who takes dozens of her famous cookies, like her Chocolate-Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies, to every family gathering. What lucky relatives she has. Don’t miss her moist, delicious Meatballs either!
These are just a few of the many talented and generous Moms featured on how2heroes. Others you should check out include:
Bea Viera - Apple Pie, Squash Pie, Vanilla Cream Meringue Pie, Gravy, Twice-Baked Potatoes and Classic Giblet Stuffing - after raising 7 children, she still has the energy to share her recipes with us. She’s truly our hero!
Chiqui Collier - feel her love for New Orleans food and family recipes when you watch her 2 videos: Uncle Frank’s Oyster Stuffing, New Orleans Style BBQ Shrimp
Boo Macomber - when someone measures the time to cook a meal by the number of beers she consumes while cooking, and describes the correct color of roux as “the Bayou after a storm,” you can’t help but fall in love and follow every tip she gives. Boo’s videos are a MUST-WATCH - Crawfish Etouffee and Boiling, Peeling and Eating Crawfish. Coming soon - her to-die-for Dirty Rice Jambalaya Stuffing.
We encourage you other Moms out there to join this group hug of great moms and share your family recipes on how2heroes. We hope to hear from you soon!
