It begins...

We are starting this weekend - after weeks (ok, months) of talking about it, Sandy and I are going to take our fistfulls of tattered recipe cards and cook until we devise a cookbook worthy of our baba (grandma), mom and mothers-in-law. A cookbook that will remind us of all the classic food that we grew up on but have a modern twist for us 20 or 30 somethings that have to spend 40+ hours a week in the office.

The fact that we are miles apart and trying to craft a decent - no, excellent - cookbook is not lost on us either! But this blog will let us share our passion together. Let us compare our successes (absolutely no leftovers), commiserate over our culinary disasters (I called, but no one would come to the table), and connect with each other just like we were sharing a glass of wine over dinner just feet from eachother.

The adventure begins and the weekend menu is featuring:

1. Flapjacks (childhood recipe)
2. Nana's Beef Stroganoff (Sandy's husband's Nana)
3. Cheesy Squash (a favorite of ours from Mum)
