The kidlit blog Into the Wardrobe has a wonderful interview with Dorina Lazo Gilmore, author of Cora Cooks Pancit, today. Blogger Tarie, who is located in the Philippines as she blogs, asks Dorina about her ethnic background, her inspirations for the book, and, of course, her cooking:
"My mother is a fabulous cook. She is 100% Italian and I think of her as a food artist because her creative juices really flow in the kitchen. I literally grew up in the kitchen doing the "kids jobs" mentioned in my book like drawing in the flour and licking the spoons and learning the "grown-up jobs" like chopping, stirring and sautéing. My girls are 3 years old and 3 months old and they are growing up in the kitchen with me too. My creative muse is food and it often inspires my writing."Read the entire interview here.
