My Nani cooked elaborate Italian meals for her family her entire life - her last dishes were frozen meals for her husband prepared until she could no longer stand over the stove. Nani cooked to feed her family, of course, but also to show her love and devotion. A decade later I find myself following in her footsteps once I, too, have a family to feed and to love.
