How does it feel to be an author at 67? It feels great, I am happy to have been able to capture my lifetimes learnings from the kitchen into a book and pass on these family recipes to future generations. A lot of the traditional recipes are being forgotten thanks to the fast food culture I didn’t want these family recipes to be lost in oblivion, she says.
 
Cooking is a great skill. There is a cook in every one of us. I want to revive at least to some extent the good old cooking traditions, she says.
