About

The segment I am marketing this blog to are men or women 30-45 years who may have a little more time to cook homemade meals, understand the value of traditions and want to spend time in the kitchen with their families. Sometimes traditions get lost from generation to generation - clothing, music, language, cooking; traditions get pushed aside because the next generation may not find it as important. Look in the attic, the junk drawer, an old jewelry box or the dusty books on the shelf and you may find something that was made by hand, an old black and white photo, personalized notes in a recipe book or a voice on a recorder. These are the special things to talk about around the kitchen table eating dinner with your family.
