Few things are as precious as learning to cook from a loved one. My 89 year old grandmother stayed with me for a couple of months last year, (my love of cooking surely came from her and the years spent in her kitchen), she taught me how to make and can "French Kraut", a sweet cabbage, pepper onion in a vinegar sauce, one of the best moments in my life. Wonderful post FRiend.
It's a LOT more fun than learning to grocery shop from a love one, more common today.
