Everything I learnt in the kitchen was through standing behind my mom in the kitchen and watching and helping her with meals every day.Without my mom I would have not been able to do all that I can do now.Im hoping to keep her memory alive by sharing all I have learnt from her with you guys.Instagram : @kim_maroney
