Our favorite quotes from the episode
“I learned a lot about cooking just by being with her in the kitchen, which I loved as a child, watching her make things, and she would explain certain things as we went along. I learned a lot just by doing that.” — Amy Lynn Smith
“I've always loved clam boils and growing up, I took them for granted, our friends and neighbors all cooked clam boils. But when I got older and moved away from Swansea, I discovered what a regional dish the clam boil is.” — Stephanie Thurrott
“For the longest time, I never understood why she would want to go through all the trouble of grocery shopping, bringing her own stuff over to my home and spending hours in my kitchen and making such a mess and seem so irritated by doing so. But I understand why now, and I really appreciate what she did and why she made so much effort.” — Anonymous

— Rebecca Kimber
