We took our mom's recipes (Mrs. Josette Barosy Jean), put them together and turned it into this book for her. As we were writing the book, we modernized it by changing the ways things were being done during her time and introduced them to a more modern way. Like for instance the manual ways, or older utensils or tools to make "Brunoise", "Chiffonade", "Julienne", or to slice, mince, dice, chop, cube, grate, shred, whip, pare food, using instead Chef's knives, or food chopper, food shredder, vegetable choppers, etc...
