Description

McElman grew up on a farm, the youngest of ten children in a German-Russian household. By her teens, she was working (with her sister-in-law) in the logging camps of BC. She would go on to marry an airforce pilot, a job that would take them all around the country and world. Welcome to My Kitchen is grounded in her practical farm experience, but enriched by a lifetime spent cooking and studying food.
