About Me

Karen Donato .... I live in Sharon, Pennsylvania with my Husband Michael. We have 2 children and 5 grandchildren who are the joy of our our lives. I learned to cook from my mother, who seemed to always be in the kitchen, and always encouraged my sister and I to help, just as I did with my children and now I do with my grandchildren.

We owned a restaurant called " Mike and Karen’s Luncheonette" until we closed it in 1992. Other than cooking, my passion is sewing, embroidery and quilting, scrapbooking, gardening and tap dancing.
This book came about because like a lot of people I get the same answer when I ask "what would you like for dinner."

The recipes in this book are made up of things I cook for my family and things that I made at our resturant.
Hope you enjoy the humor in the names of the dishes and that you’ll try a few of them yourself.
So next time your family says they want "Anything’s okay " You’ll be able to whip it up.
