Family history writing.
Family cooks and bakers have favorite recipes. Some of them may be recent additions to the collection; some of them may have been passed down for generations. Some of them may be written down, but some may exist only in the chef’s brain. While these recipes yield delicious food that family member enjoy, they also are surrounded by stories about family—e.g., a grandparent preparing a dish that we craved as children, a parent wearing a special apron while cooking or baking, friends and family gathered around the dining room table to enjoy the food and one another’s company. And if we are fortunate, there are photos related to these recipes—e.g., a photo of the food item itself, a photo of the family sharing the meal, a photo of our grandparents’ old wood-burning kitchen stove, or a photo of a family member preparing the dish, or a photo of a grandparent. In this workshop, we are going to share our memories about recipes. Each of us will also outline a family recipe book that includes recipes, stories, photos.
