This is the first post on this new blog. Made by me, as in Diana, Aida’s daughter :). I created this blog because my mom really has a talent for creating delicious foods. They all just turn up great, no matter what new dish she tries! I wanted to keep a documentary of her creations as much as I can, so here is From Aida’s Kitchen! I’m just getting started with her tons of recipes (and I mean, she has files and files of them) she’s done throughout the years, so stay tuned for more.
