description: Susan Mendelson "Since the title of this book is Mama Never Cooked Like This, first I must apologize to Mother Roz, who, in fact, makes a mean caramel fudge, can open a terrific can of corn niblets, and who convinced me at a very early age that the biggest treat in life was a TV Dinner. When, as a young girl growing up in Toronto, my sisters and I showed a keen interest in food preparation, boy, were we encouraged! Mom was so supportive that she even let us cook full course dinners five-six times a week! The other nights, we ordered in Chinese food or pizza .... At the age of nineteen, when I moved to Vancouver, ostensibly to continue my studies, but, as it turned out, to continue cooking, I was ready to explore life beyond TV Dinners. What I found in Vancouver was a whole new world of fresh fish and vegetables. And what I did with this newly-found, readily-available supply of food was combine it with the recipes of the multi-ethnic mix of the city, which, of course, I didn't have to leave Toronto to find."
