Questions & Answers about haha no ryouri wa itsumo aji ga ii node, kazokuzenin ga tanoshimi ni shite imasu.

Why does the sentence use both は and が?

They are doing different jobs.

• 母の料理は sets mother’s cooking as the topic: As for my mother’s cooking...
• 味がいい says something about that topic: the taste is good
• Later, 家族全員が marks the subject of 楽しみにしています: the whole family is the one looking forward to it

So the structure is roughly:

• Topic: 母の料理は
• Comment about it: いつも味がいいので
• Main result: 家族全員が楽しみにしています

This kind of topic + subject inside the comment is very common in Japanese.

What does の mean in 母の料理?

Here の shows a relationship between two nouns. In this sentence, it means something like:

• mother’s cooking
• the cooking made by mother

So:

• 母 = mother
• 料理 = cooking / dishes / food
• 母の料理 = mother’s cooking

It often works like English ’s or of, depending on context.

Why is it 味がいい instead of just おいしい?
