I grew up in Brooklyn New York cooking with my mom at a very young age 5yrs. old, my mom made everything from scratch, we never had anything out of a can, my father would travel upstate to a meat/butcher farm to pick out his own cow, goat and so on for fresh meat he never trusted store bought meat. We made wine in our basement, had live rabbits and once a goat, make fresh pasta, grew our own herbs, tomatoes and Til this day I still make my own jarred tomato sauce.
