I used to be an indifferent cook but became interested in learning how to cook - trying recipes - improving technique when I was home sick for a few weeks and started watching cooking shows like Alton Brown as well as ones that really taught basic knife skills like how to chop an onion.
I do have wonderful memories of being with my Bubbe in her kitchen as we lived in a two family in Brooklyn and my mother was a teacher so my Bubbe was my caretaker for as far back as I can remember. She was a wonderful cook in the traditional Ashkenazi style and I would sit at the kitchen table while she made stuff and she would make little treats for me like a miniature challah.
She was a TERRIBLE teacher because even though she was more than willing to give a recipe nothing had measurements or timing - at best it would be something like 2 glasses of X ingredient.  She was equally bad at teaching me knitting as she would do all the tricky parts like casting on etc. and then hand me the needles to just do the straight knot and purl rolls.  |
Well your memories are so interesting to me.
Happy cooking!

I would love to have her recipes for
Kreplach - I was fascinated by the grinder she attached to the kitchen table
Sugar/butter Cookes - she "hid" them in the closet under the stairs with a tin from Queen Elizabeth's coronation. I am sure she realized I knew where she hid them but she never changed the hiding place
Blueberry Schtoonekes which was some kind of blueberry turnover. We would pick wild blueberries in New Jersey and bring her the pails and she would cook them. I have never seen this recipe anywhere although evidently the Jewish community in Montreal has a few bakeries which makes something similar called Blueberry Buns so I suspect they have the same culinary derivation

if you have time, this is a wonderful piece about "blueberry" buns but really about the way foods from the past evoke the most intense memories - where would Proust have been without his Madeleine after all?

We're a plain vanilla family. I make the vanilla bean recipe on page 9, although I skip the vanilla bean. No one's complained. I think once, I ventured into chocolate territory, but I ended up with a rebellion and was forced to eat it myself. But the vanilla's pretty delicious!

Do you use anything to replace the vanilla bean, like more vanilla sugar, or just skip entirely?

Yes, they are actually very good for sorbets and parve ice creams...
But you have to process your icecream mixture beforehand. The icemachine, in general, only helps with the freezing process (breaking up the crystals, by moving the freezing cream constantly)...
I made my children happy with 12 popsicle moulds. We learned to fill them in different ways, milchig, parve, sorbet, mult-layered... sometimes we would add chocolate coating...

I bought it on sale last summer mainly as an activity for bored kids. It's almost as fun as watching popcorn pop
