Caption: Residing with a chef, life is food-focused nearly all the time. Even before James came along, designating me as household sous chef, my Italian heritage had placed food at the core of my identity.
My tapestry was woven in edible thread from the beginning. Pastas, pastries, produce and stew.
On Sunday's, we gather to indulge.

Caption: I'll likely never be the caliber cook my grandma is. Her generation has something special that isn't readily replicated; I have much to learn from her.
Caption: Making mistakes, and accidentally cutting or burning myself is commonplace.
I still follow recipes most of the time and am more than contented to watch James in the kitchen, chopping vegtables by his side rather than do it by myself.
Most importantly, I embrace my shortcomings but the ease with which he prepares food inspires me to become better.
