Monica Bhide and her son Jai

Here is a great article from food writer, Monica Bhide.  Her son's love of food was nurtured and grew early, but there were some trials along the way.  Amazing how peer pressure can lead you astray and how mothers can gently guide you back on the right path.

Here is the link the the article:

This article struck a chord with me.  My mother is not at fault for most of the way I turned out, but in the case of my love of food and cooking , I think she can claim some responsibility.

So to my Mom, I say, Thanks for giving me the start of my love of food and cooking.  Even just her admonition, “If you don’t eat that you’re gonna go hungry!” makes me thankful.  I remember her making chocolate chip cookies with me when I had the chicken pox (or was it the mumps?)  Or allowing me to eat anything off the menu (or street) in Bangkok when we lived there.
 
All these things she did and more shaped me as the food lover I am today.  Thanks, Mom.
 
Care to share your food experiences with your mom?  Please do.  I hope you enjoy the article and see a bit of you in there.  Happy Mother’s Day.
