Early birthday gift from mom and dad. A book they made that chronicles my love affair with food. Inside are all the menus I made as a kid for “J’s Diner” - my imaginary restaurant that fed my entire family. I would “cook” at my Fisher-Price kitchen set all day and serve up the goods to my brother and sister after they chose what they wanted from my home-made menus, made with markers and construction paper.
I think what I love so much about this book is that not much has changed. I still love making dinner for my friends and family, thinking of the meal days in advance. I love menus and frame the ones from my favorite restaurants across the worl. They hang in my kitchen and I consider them art. I still love eating hamburgers, french fries and tacos - and I still can’t spell to save my life.
