"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
My friend Opal Fremin and I made Jason and Jami's wedding and groom's cakes. Both were delicious, but the carrot cake was the really big hit. Opal and I worked together teaching Culinary Arts at the vocational school where I work for 6 years. Opal is one of the most creative people I know, and she taught me so much about cooking.
