    My gran thought putting mint in peas was the height of fancy cooking (while serving a full roast for dinner in the height of summer).

      I’m an American who grew up with an English Nan in a part of the country filled with Italian Nonnas.

      My jealousy of their food compared to a roast that could not be more dry… my other grandma was American and couldn’t cook either.

      Luckily, my mom was self taught so good food at home.
