Mom's Table

About Mom's Table

Home, family, and food have always been passionately important to me. My own mom was a great “from-scratch” Mid-Western cook, who taught me at her side in the kitchen. I was hooked when I made my first pie (pecan) for Home-Ec. at twelve and saw the pleasure on my father’s face. As a new bride in the 70s, I clipped recipes weekly, took classes in different types of cuisine and experimented on my poor husband (thanks, Scott!). His mother and grandmother introduced me to the food of the Deep South. I have tried to pass on good nutritional habits over the past 30 years, both in the classroom and to my own four children. Catering events has also been a part-time occupation, first working for other companies, and then on my own. The idea for Mom’s Table began when my own children would bring their friends home, and when dinner was served, they seemed surprised that it came out of the oven and that we all sat down and ate together! I became aware that many women (and men!) my age and younger just weren’t taught to cook the way I was and that the demands on their time prevented them from shopping, cooking and serving it in the traditional way. If providing home-style meals for you would help bring your family back to the table (and out of the fast-food line!) – let us know!
