About
Here I am happy as can be with my grandson!
I’m Kit Bennett, mother, nana, sister, wife, friend and daughter of Suzanne Devine. 52 Saturdays is a project from my kitchen and from my heart.
My mother was amazing and creative in the kitchen. She studied recipes and cookbooks like one might tackle a textbook; marking the pages, making notes, and like any good innovator, she made tweaks and changes as she felt inspired.
Things to know about my mom as a baseline: She was also…
- a busy single mother (not easy in the 60’s and 70’s) of five active girls
- was dealing with the sudden loss of a daughter
- a returning student while working and raising her daughters
- probably clinically depressed or manic
- a brilliant inquisitive woman
- a gracious host and all were welcome at our table whether it was a Sunday meal, fancy dinner party or a holiday meal
- morbidly obese most of her adult life and died too soon
More to come…busy working right now, but here is my mom pre-obesity…stunning, right?
