When I was 10 years old, Grandma let me help cook the sauce. My job was to stir in the berries.
Grandma's Secret Trick
When Grandma was having to be budget conscious, she would save money on shallots, which were expensive in her local supermarket, by using substitute ingredients. She substituted a large chopped yellow onion, or a leek plus a minced clove of garlic, for the 5 shallots.
The smell of hamburgers on the grill reminds me of happy times with family at Grandma’s house.
Grandma’s updated version of her mother’s Stroganoff recipe still tastes like it came from the old country.
After Grandma learned to grill Chinese ribs, she fixed them that way often.
Now that I have a family, I use Grandma’s lamb for my family’s special occasions.
