The heritage of food and its specific preparations can be passed down from one generation to another if only we’ll take the time to do so. Does just the simple smell of baking bread or bubbling stew bring back a specific memory for you? What about an apple spice cake?
Since my cookbooks double as heirlooms for our children, you’ll find bits of family history peppered throughout the recipes. Sometimes these notes might be interesting to all readers and at other times only our family will appreciate the anecdotes.
Please notify me with any questions, comments or specific recipe requests. I have so many ideas to share. Please remember to check back often.
