My Mom passed away 5 years ago and I basically spent her last year with her constantly. She had a hard time walking and was almost blind but we did a lot together with me helping her. As bad off as she was she was an awesome cook. We're Italian and you know they are awesome cooks. She cooked for me everyday and we would enjoy it together. Of course she shared her recipes with me and taught me how to cook at a young age...but mine was never as good as hers was. One of the things I miss most about my Mom is her cooking! My Aunt, her sister has tried to make meals for me that she thought were just like hers but even though they were sisters they had different ways of cooking. Does anyone else miss their moms cooking if they have passed away or live in another country/state? Have you been able to duplicate your Moms cooking?

Thank the good heavens for I still have my mom with us. And yes, I always crave for her cooking as she seldom do that now but whenever i will make a request that she cook something, she'll be more than happy to grant my wish!
As for the next question, No, I can never match my mom's cooking skills! Not even a quarter of her skills!

It is natural. Everyone miss their mothers' delicacies as they (mothers) pass on to the great beyond permanently to say the least. You are a better cook after your mother. Remember 'one man's food' they say 'is another man's poison'. Our glands do not accommodate same tastes. One soup might taste salty for you while the same soup to another person it has no salt. So, you 'Ctryhnny', are a better cook to me.

Hi!
I am sorry about your mom. May her soul rest in peace.
I work at a place distant from my home.So i get to meet my mom only at weekend and I seriously cannot explain you or anyone here how much i miss my mom as well as her cooking. No food in the world can actually compared to one's mom's cooked food. That's for sure.
Happy mylotting :)

My mum passed away 6 years ago. She was British and well, her cooking was very basic and wasn't the type of cooking that you want to pass on from generation to generation. I had to learn how to cook new foods when I got married. My husband really wasn't that interested in my Mum's British foods. But, what I miss from my Mum is her singing and her kind and loving heart. She sang in church choirs for over 50 years and has a very beautiful and inspiring voice. She also loved children and often looked after children who were in need, as well as raised a large family.
I wish I could duplicate my mum's embracing heart.

I count myself very lucky as I still live with my mum, because of circumstances beyond my control I found myself without a job and a home, and I had to move back to my parents home, my mum will be 70 next year and she's still a fabulous cook and will turn her hand to anything. I have to admit that I am no cook, whatever she cooks it's delicious. Her mince pies are the best, I can't taste shop bought ones, after being spoilt with mum's home made ones.

Im glad at least i can cook my own food now. I cannoy cook the way my mom cook. It is really true that there is only one mom in this world. Sorry to hear about your mom.

I never miss anything about mom... co's I have never met her. She passed away before I turned 1. So I don't have any memories with her, can't even remember how she looked like co's Dad don't have any picture of her. The only picture I have with her is when during my baptism, but I lost it somewhere too.
I miss my dad's cooking, thinking of it now makes me miss them all. I do love my mom but I don't miss anything that she do to me.
Good for you co's I know you have loads memories with her. God bless!

Me too, my mother passed several years ago. but she did not pass that stage. She passed with a heart attack and came on the hospital DOA. sad to remember the times when she was with us. It is different when she passed.
No no one will ever replace my mother's unconditional love, endless forgiveness, passionate heart, tender loving care hands. No one will ... 
No one will ever replace her cooking (I miss so much) even me.

Hi ctryhnny:)
I got her cooking style because she also taught me when I was young like twelve years old I think. I live with her but she can't cook much now as she has Parkinsons disease it's hard for her to move around much. I guess that's what I miss more, the times when she could still move around normally.
