Gardening

Mostly Asian(Japanese, and Thai), Italian and classic American. One of my projects the lasst couple of yrs is to reverse engineer my Mom's recipes. She kept everything in her head and even those that I know all the ingredients, I don't the proportions. Luckily, I have a clue because my Mom(who was considered a great cook) didn't know how to Cook when she married my Dad and Had only a Betty Crocker cookbook. I've found in the pre60's editions a number of recipes that are pretty close so I know they are probably what she started with. Have her Eggplant casserole down(I think mine is actually better;>) but still haven't cracked her soups or her dips.
Cheers,
Pat
