“When I was growing up, I learned to cook from my grandmother and we spent a lot of time in the kitchen preparing our family dinners. I will always cherish the hours we spent cooking, laughing, eating, and talking. It shaped me into the person I am today. Food has the amazing ability to bring people together. I think Family Day is a great opportunity for families to re-connect and build memories together over a meal.”
