'I saw how her palm lines became her lifeline in the kitchen. She knew by heart just how much of each ingredient she needed in order to make the dishes that comprised our childhood.'
“How do you know how much you’ve put into the measuring bowl?” he asked her one afternoon while watching her make the dish.He was perplexed, having never heard of anyone refer to palm lines as a way of measuring ingredients. She explained that even though everyone’s hands are different sizes, those lines will remain the same length no matter what.

I saw how her palm lines became her lifeline in the kitchen. Experimentation happened time and time again, until she knew by heart just how much of each ingredient she needed in order to make the dishes that comprised our childhood.
