Baking and cooking are acts of love as Grace McNeil (Hugh Jackman’s mother) would tell you. I often think back to the time when my own mother would cook for our family. She was so tired from all the work as a seamstress and later a manicurist but we always had a hot meal ready for us. Sometimes Mom would even make us dessert.
One of my favorite desserts she made was a steamed flan or crème caramel. My mother rarely wrote down her recipes and estimated all of her ingredients. She mostly trusted her intuition or the whispers of her ancestors and her food came out just right.
