    <about><![CDATA[I originally wrote my cookbook for my 3 children, adults now.  My oldest daughter gave me the idea when she requested that I write down my Banana Pudding recipe before I died.  I have made banana pudding all of my life and made it my mother's way... no measuring.  So I made it and measured as I went along.  This gave me the idea of making a cookbook.  I started making the dishes I knew all 3 enjoyed, measured, wrote the recipes down and entered them into the computer.  My youngest daughter later told me that she couldn't bring deviled eggs to Thanksgiving dinner because she couldn't peel a boiled egg without tearing it up.  That reminded me that I had the pleasure of having a stay at home mom who taught me to cook but I worked and didn't have time to do the same with my daughters.  So I started adding tips to my recipes.  I also realized that not all 3 of my kids enjoyed the same ingredients.  This gave me the idea of including suggestions to change ingredients.  Plus, as I went along, I remembered some of my cooking experiences both as a child and adult.  I thought it would be nice to include these short stories so they would know that we all make mistakes when cooking.  <br/><br/>My book grew and since I'm a terrible speller, I had a friend proof-read for me.  She enjoyed the book so much she suggested I have it published.  So, I took her advice, sent my manuscript to a publisher, they liked it so much that the next thing I knew I had a contract in my hand and a year later a published book.<br/><br/>For more info about me, my book and my style of cooking, visit my blog <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://stirlaughrepeat.blogspot.com">stirlaughrepeat.blogspot.com</a> and my website <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.marthaskitchenkorner.com">www.marthaskitchenkorner.com</a>]]></about>
