My Granny never used a cookbook or recipe. She always wrote her own. She would write on pieces of paper, the backs of envelopes, napkins and anything that she could find to write down cooking instructions. When she dies, my mother inhereted all of these pieces of paper with recipes and she put them away in a drawer. When she dies, we found all of these wonderful recipes from our childhood and decided to honor Granny by putting her love of food into a cookbook dedicated to her.
