Introduction

This is Mama Miche, and today in my Magic Kitchen: Wonton Soup.

Ordering in Chinese food was affordable once upon a time. Seriously, the prices are through the damn roof for meals you can make at home for a fraction of the cost. I think at this point in time, many families are having trouble making ends meet, and eating at restaurants or ordering in isn't an option. That doesn't mean you have to do without the tasty food. Buy the spices! A well-stocked pantry is essential. Use resources, like my cookbooks that you can pre-order on our website, and cook quality meals, even better than the restaurants. You can do it! 

Let Mama Miche make your kitchen magic! MMMK, Let's eat!
