Chef Thomas Keller once said, “A recipe has no soul. You, as the cook, must bring soul to the recipe.” Nowhere is that more true than in the family kitchen, where technical shortcomings are easily defeated by the love and care taken by the cook. Everyone needs a little homecooking once in a while, so excluding your mom’s house, here are a few of our favorite WNY options.
