Memories & Stories
Imperial Sugar Company, As I think back through my cooking memories, I remember I have had many generations of family members with their tried and true favorites to guide me. This important tradition continues to be valued today in my home and those of my children and grandchildren. The greatest influence on my cooking know-how was my sweet mother. Time and time again, I have been seen the usefulness of my mothers teachings in the kitchen - of food and life skills preparation.
Best wishes for continued success in your publications. I enjoy your products. I have always wanted to come visit your company in Sugar Land. Maybe I will have the chance this summer.
