My grandmother, who we affectionately call Nani is the best baker I know. If LeBron James is the king of the basketball court, then she is the queen of the kitchen. Her soft, warm chocolate chip cookies are better than Mrs. Fields or Rachel Rays. Her Key lime pie is the perfect delicate balance between sweet and savory. Her recipe box is the treasure chest full of secret, recipes, handwritten on colorful notecards, Nani, mixes and stirs and measures with as much care as a scientist in a lab. Everything taste better if it’s made by Nani for everything she bakes is made with love.
