Food is truly the shortest way to the heart. And food is also family, genetic memory. “Mom’s borscht”, “grandmother’s pies” are the very family bonds on which everything rests. I am ready to perform culinary feats for children. I cook every day so that everyone in my house – family, guests – has a tasty meal. In this book, for the first time, I share not only stories, but also favorite recipes, each of which is associated with a memory dear to me. And I know for sure: if I once fed someone, this person - a child or an adult - will remain in my destiny for a long time. Isn't this happiness?Masha Traub
