ON THE GO
When Lorraine and Chris Wallace
married in 1997, they blended their
six children together. In the midst
of their busy schedules, Lorraine
made family mealtime a priority. Now
that the Wallaces are empty-nesters,
Lorraine still loves to cook for herself
and Chris as well as for family gatherings. Lorraine graciously shared with
Peachy some of her tips for how home
cooks (which she considers herself to
be) can use fresh ingredients and a
well-stocked panty to create wonderful meals for any night of the week to
bring families closer together.
Where did you grow up?
I am a Virginia girl!
Is there someone or something that greatly
influenced your childhood?
Like everyone else, my mother.
When did you start cooking?
I began to cook when I became a young
wife and mother.
Tell us a little about your cookbooks, recipes
and pantry list.
I am like every woman out there who
faces the dilemma of how to get her
family to stop, unwind and re-connect
over a nutritious and delicious meal.
It is not so easy in this modern world
with hectic schedules and time constraints. My cookbooks are recipe
suggestions with timelines and pantry
and refrigerator solutions to help bring
your family together.
What markets do you like to frequent in
DC to get the freshest ingredients?
Dupont Farmers Market, Whole Foods
and Wagshal’s Market.
