“Respect the past, because it is a classroom for lessons learned. Be prepared for the future, because it is my destiny. Always live in the now, because every moment is a memorable experience.” This is an example of the wisdom and advice author Johnny Tan received from the influential women in his life. Those he affectionately called ‘moms.’
“From My Mama’s Kitchen” began as a keepsake collection of recipes but soon morphed into a memoir of lessons learned and advice shared in the kitchen. The eternal love a mother has for her children is highlighted in this endearing novel as Tan shares with us the influence those lessons and advice had.
The kitchen is the hub of every house and like that hub; moms are the hub of the family. They are the teacher, doctor, security blanket, and banker in the eyes of their children. By preparing their children for adulthood all moms pass down advice and life lessons learned from their mothers. Author Johnny Tan had the unique opportunity to learn from his mother plus eight more women he referred to as mom.
In “From My Mama’s Kitchen,” Tan combines the collective learning from his nine moms. He affectionately gives credit where credit is due for the life his had led and the life he is living.
Right from the first paragraph, Tan’s love and respect for the moms in his life will capture your undivided attention. Again and again, he presents their advice and guidance with a smooth pace that’s both refreshing and comforting. The impact these women had on Tan’s life is unmistakable as it is virtually on every page.
I recommend “From My Mama’s Kitchen” to anyone whose life has been impacted by the lessons learned and advice gained from their mamas. The motherly love exemplified in this book will warm the hearts of both young and old.
“From My Mama’s Kitchen – food for the Soul, recipes for living,” is a testament to mothers’ world wide.
