Her mother has been married now for almost 4 decades and has cooked three fresh meals daily for many years with the help of her children and sometimes, housemaids. She has learned from her mother that cooking is an art and that a good cook dispenses happiness to all with their delicious meals. Her mother taught her a value that is explained explicitly by Elsa Schiaparelli in her proverb: “Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is a great importance to the morale”.
Margaret started cooking family meals at the age of 8. Her mother knew that even as a novice in the world of cooking, she had a desire to be creative. Her mother peaked her interest when she solicited her opinion or complimented her suggestions. She learned from her that cooking is about getting involved and being creative just as stated in the proverb: “Tell me and I'll forget, show me and I may remember, involve me and I'll understand” Chinese proverb. She learned to use the recipes that were provided to her as a theme and cooking the same meals each time with a little variation. Cooking for her is about being creative and discovering new dishes which brings her total satisfaction. She believes that there are many good cooks out there, but the most delicious meals are those that are cooked from the heart with passion, love and thoughtfulness.показать меньше
