Reader Interview: Yours Truly
Today I interview myself. If you’d like to be interviewed, leave a comment below. Find out more at the About Me page.
- What do you remember about family meals and your mother’s cooking style when you were growing up? My mother ran a tight ship in the kitchen. One reason she had such good control is that my father only stepped inside to make himself a cup of tea when no one else was available. She trained me, the youngest, to do everything exactly as she wanted.

Interview with Leah: Cabbage Egg Pierogi
Please welcome reader Leah, an Israeli mom of 5 and professional translator. She blogs at ingathered.com, and her professional website is at aqtext.
- What do you remember about family meals and your mother’s cooking style when you were growing up? My mother’s cooking consisted of traditional Russian staples and family heirloom recipes. Borsch, cutlets, “Olivie salad” (potato and mayonnaise salad with meat), strudels etc. My maternal grandmother spent the WWII years in Central Asia. As a result, our family had many friends from Bukhara and Georgia (the country, not the state). My mother loves Bukharian and Georgian food and makes it quite often.
