As I’ve always stated before, we all have gifts to share and some of us were trained, ordained or taught to sustain such gifts. When we emanate our parents they pass the torch with these gifts, so that we can continue their legacy in some way or another.
This is the case with Mamie T. Gailes (pictured above), her love of cooking has been passed down from generation to generation. Her grandmother was an excellent cook and so was her mother and she is carrying this torch of talent because of her love for cooking from these women in her life.
Cooking is more than just mixing up ingredients. It’s about sharing my love for food with everyone I meet.
My zeal comes from my Mom (Bessie L. Thomas) she put so much passion into everything that she cooked.
Now it’s my turn to give you the finest, freshest & most flavorful meal that a Chef can serve.
Mamie catered my very first book signing for my staff and the food was awesome to say the least. She comes from a family with a talent for the kitchen and a creativity in their desired fields of expertise.
Now owner, operator and proprietor of “Mama’s with a Spoon” a full-serviced family owned personal chef and catering business located in Bergen County, NJ. Mama’s specialize in Personal Chef services such as; family reunions, weddings, social events, business luncheons, birthday celebrations, grand-openings and/or any event where food and people come together.
Our mission at Mama’s with a Spoon is to provide each client with fresh food, creative menus, and stylish decor with a commitment to excellence in service, planning and food quality.
Join me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as we talk to Mamie Gailes about the purpose of her business, the vision of her goals and the legacy of her mother.
All “Conversation links” in this post make it possible to access tonight’s show.
