Maria enjoys cooking with her grandmother every Sunday. Together, they prepare various dishes from different cultures. Last weekend, they made spaghetti and meatballs, which Maria’s grandmother taught her to make from her own family recipe. The dish required fresh basil, garlic, and tomatoes that they picked from their garden. After cooking, they shared the meal with family, and Maria loved hearing the stories about her grandmother's childhood in Italy.

Maria also enjoys baking with her grandmother. They often make cookies and cakes, using secret ingredients that have been passed down through generations. Baking reminds Maria of the special bonds they share and the memories they create in the kitchen.
