Lisa Schroeder long ago decided that what the world needed was more places where people could enjoy what she calls “mother food.” Today she’s the chef and owner of the award-winning Mother’s Bistro & Bar and Mama Mia Trattoria in Portland, OR. Schroeder has been featured in The Oregonian, Food & Wine, Cooking Light, Town & Country, USA Today, and Bon Appetit. Mother’s Best is her first cookbook. @mothersbistro
