A few years ago she started writing down the recipes she had grown up with and posting them to her website. She had just turned 40, and had spent most of her adult life working as a hectic Silicon Valley consultant with little time to cook, let alone learn how to cook beyond what she had learned growing up. She come from a big family - six kids - and thought what a terrific family project, to document our family recipes! Both her mother and father are excellent home cooks, her mother by necessity to raise them all, and her dad because he loves to eat well and enjoys the experimentation of trying out new recipes.
Well the small family project has taken on a life of its own, as evidenced by Simply Recipes.
