WELCOME

Hi and welcome to Epicurious Generations,

My name is Josée and I grew up in a family where food was extremely important - preparing it, shopping for it, endlessly discussing it and of course, and most importantly, eating it.   My mother and grandmother were a terrific cooks and I spent a lot of time watching cooking shows with them.  The house always smelt good and was a place of warmth, love and comfort for me. 

I have always loved to cook and entertain friends and family - trying to recreated that wonderful feeling of home I knew as a kid.  When we moved to Paris, the food thing moved to a whole new level and I took advantage of this wonderful opportunity to follow in Julia Child's footsteps and attend the Cordon Bleu.  This was by far the hardest thing I ever did, but I had the time of my life.

I created this blog to share my recipes with my kids and so that we would all have easy access to them no matter where we are.  I have had to adapt over the years as food tastes and preferences have evolved in our family:  some are vegan, some of vegetarian and some are full blown carnivores.   Trying to make this work for everyone can sometimes be a challenge but the goal is to create something that everyone will love and that tastes amazing.
