It’s a cliche, but it’s true: there’s very little in life as satisfying as putting food in front of your people and watching them enjoy everything about it. –Andy The Cook’s Creed from Meta Given’s The Modern Family Cookbook (1958) The health of my family is in my care, therefore– I will preserve as far as possible
