What Parents Need to Know
About Mom's Cooking
Parents need to know that this heartfelt cooking/reality series -- in which mothers teach their daughters to prepare family favorites -- looks at food and meal preparation as a way to keep generations connected and create strong bonds between mothers and daughters. That said, it also suppports gender stereotypes about cooking being a woman's responsbility. Some recipes contain alcohol, and some families drink wine at mealtime. Supermarket logos (like Kroger) and various food brands (like Martha White) are visible.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether shows like this one can actually help people improve their cooking skills. Do you think the meals prepared on cooking shows are as difficult or simple to make as they seem on television? Are there any recipes and/or cooking techniques that have surprised you? Families can also discuss some of the their own favorite traditional meals. Are there foods you eat that are different from other families around you? Do you have specific meals that you eat on special occasions, like birthdays or holidays?
