Mother's Kitchen It took Lisa Schroeder years to find out that her real place was in the kitchen. For nearly a decade, she has been motivated by her passion - good home cooking. Despite her current success, life was not always kind to Schroeder. Life in New York during 1993 was hard for Schroeder and her daughter. Her second marriage ended, she was laid off from her job, and she broke her arm.
Old proverbs say that bad luck comes in threes.
Fortunately, Schroeder's bad luck was auspicious. My mother had a restaurant before I was born. As a result, Schroeder noted that there was no place in New York to get really good home cooking. She searched deep into her soul to find that the life she really wanted was to own a restaurant that served home cooking from mothers around the world. She was happy because she was following her heart.
