Grandma’s updated version of her mother’s Stroganoff recipe still tastes like it came from the old country.
Grandma's Secret Trick
Whenever I accompanied Grandma to the grocery store, I learned something about purchasing fresh produce. When it came to mushrooms, she preferred to sort through the basket of loose ones. She turned each mushroom over to make sure that the cap was closed tight around the stem with no gills showing-a sure sign of freshness.
The more things change, the more they stay the same: Grandma served this with corn bread; I serve it with corn tortillas.
As Grandpa lifted a forkful of tender beef, he said that this is what Swedes call ‘soul food.’
