Who do you think could cook better? I think both great but different styles. Iola's I picture being from a gourmet restaurant, whereas Mama's would be more REAL and practical. If Iola was making pasta, I could see her making her own noodles, whereas Mama would have no problem using noodles from a box, b/c what REAL person has time to make their own pasta?! lol

Since Iola seemed to come to dinner at the Harpers' a lot, I'd say Mama.

Yes Def Mama :)
