John's 50th birthday dinner @ Nobu in Honolulu, October 2013

This is an online family cookbook - a collection of our favorite family meals that I gathered over the years from our family and friends. Food has been something that has brought us together as a family since my girls were babies, and I hope to continue this love and nourishment through this family cookbook.  

My love for cooking definitely comes from my mom. She didn’t have a culinary background, but she was a great cook and loved to entertain her friends over food. And she did it so effortlessly. I learned so much about the joy of cooking and food prep from her. I’m also not a chef with formal culinary training, so I don’t have the skills nor the depth of knowledge in culinary arts… I am just a home cook who enjoys cooking and bringing people together over food, just like my mom did. I love Ina Garten’s quote - “Food is not about impressing people. It’s about making them feel comfortable.” This is exactly what my mom did and what I do!

Love you, Gina & Angie… Happy cooking & Happy Eating!
