Description

My grandmother was the kind of cook who prepared food without recipes and mostly by intuition. She owned neither measuring spoons nor cups and yet she baked and cooked some of the most incredibly involved dishes. When asked how to make something, her response was always, “Shit-arein” (which is Yiddish for “throw a little of this and a little of that in”). I often stood on a kitchen chair at the stove watching her throw a little of this and a little of that in the pot. No measuring. No written recipes. Her cooking was by taste, feel, smell and look. She would look into the pot of chicken soup.
