Main Dishes Cookbook

The recipes in this book are the result of the long years I've spent with my mother and sisters helping them cook a lot of main dishes casseroles. What I learned about cooking I mostly picked up from observing and asking questions, which led to something good. Each time I asked my mom how she prepared her specialty dish, she would share with me how she did it. But I've neither recorded nor tested her recipes. Beneath her piles of index cards filled with recipes plus handwritten notes, cookbooks, and cut out magazine pages with recipes my mom has barely touched are a precious collection of our family favorites, forever etched in our memories. Most of the meals we prepare in the kitchen reflect so much about our family's past. These are the foods made in my many homes, in numerous countries, throughout the years. People say that variety is the spice of life.
