The author grew up in an American household with a strong Lebanese heritage, where the kitchen was a central part of family life. Her mother, a skilled home chef, approached cooking with great seriousness and precision, which the author learned from at a young age.
The author shares a humorous anecdote about attempting to impress her then-boyfriend (now husband) by making her mother's famous hummus. However, due to her nervousness, she made a mistake in the measurements, resulting in an overpowering garlic flavor. The author's mother was able to quickly salvage the dish, demonstrating her expertise and teaching the author an important lesson about the importance of paying attention to cooking ratios.
The author emphasizes that cooking with her mother was not just about the food, but also about learning valuable life lessons. The kitchen served as a "command center" where the mother's wisdom and quick thinking were on display, providing the author with insights that extended beyond the culinary realm.
