A year later I joined a writing group and the group decided to publish a small magazine featuring work by members of the group. So I decided to do a piece about my mother and my memories of growing up in her kitchen. It seemed natural to add a recipe at the end of the piece. The piece "Mother's Lemon Rice" was very popular and everyone kept asking me if I was going to write more stories about life in my mother's kitchen. The first piece was auto-biographical but I changed the focus of book from myself to fiction. "My Mother's Kitchen" was easy to write and I finished it less than a year.(less)
