From time to time I will be sharing some of my mom's all time best recipes.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Almaas Edith Mahfood Wacasey, affectionately known as "Aley," was born October 4, 1944. She was the eldest of 10 siblings. My grandfather passed away when my mom was only 16. Due to this, Mom helped my grandmother raise her little brothers & sisters. My grandfather was Lebanese and had been raised on the island of Jamaica. He was an excellent chef and taught my mom to cook a wide variety of cuisines.
Mom loved to cook and took delight in feeding everyone. She was the best when it came to unexpected guests and/or impromptu get togethers. Spur of the moment parties where one of her many specialties!
From the time I could stand on a stool I was always next to her in the kitchen. Some of my earliest memories are of helping mom cook. I am lucky to have learned from such an amazing lady! I am making sure my mother's legacy lives on by teaching my kidlets to cook just like her.
Mom was diagnosed on June 21, 2011 with liver cancer which was inoperable nor would any other treatments help. She was released to her home with hospice care on June 24, 2011. We lost her in the early am on July 3, 2011.
Mom never believed in "secret" recipes, she felt it was necessary to help others learn to cook. She enjoyed sharing what she had learned over the many years of nourishing all who crossed her path. Sharing Aley's recipes is yet another way to keep memories of my mother strong!!!
