Serious Eats: starsmom's Profile

My first encounter with Indian food was at my neighbor's son's high school graduation open house. The family was from India, and all of their extended family contributed dishes as well. It was wonderful!

Cook the Book: 'Mrs. Rowe's Little Book of Southern Pies'

Oddly, my greatest success was making a (nearly) perfect pie crust! My mother-in-law- was the queen of pies, and mine always looked terrible.......one day, it all came together for me.......and I was just thrilled with my accomplishment.

There are two large Farmers' Markets in Minneapolis........I can't really say that I have a favorite vendor.......they are almost always equal....and the quality superb.....my only problem is buying TOO MUCH at a time!

Cook the Book: 'Endangered Recipes' by Lari Robling

My favorite food memories always include my grandma......she was very hands-on and always let me help her in the kitchen and was infinitely patient. One memory that makes me smile is her Missouri Dumplings.....a wonderful sweet biscuit-type concoction which was covered in warm caramel sauce......she always whistled The Missouri Waltz when she was preparing this delectable dessert....and I was spellbound, taking it all in.......
