Among your family genealogical treasures, do you have a recipe that has made its way to you along with the other paraphernalia your ancestors have left?  If so, we would like to honor it with a page in the family heritage cook book that is now being assembled.  Family recipes are often handed down in personal handwriting in a letter, on a card, or even on the back of an envelope.  Often there is a story that goes with the recipe - for example, here is one that goes with a special party lemon meringue pie upside down on a grandmother's clean scrubbed kitchen floor and what happened then.  There might also be a picture of the first known cook for your recipe.

 

How about sharing your family specials with handwritten copies, a picture of the cook, and a little information about that person ---either a story about the recipe  - or a little memory - or just some statistics.  You can bring them to the library - or to a meeting.  Be sure that you have your name on the material so that we can include it on your page and also so that any originals (pictures, writing, etc.) can be returned safely to you.
