I love @Laura’s ravioli book and refer to it often in gathering and writing about culinary history! Thanks for sharing it and all the other practical tips for finding and recovering lost family recipes.
I love this - this is exactly what I'm doing. I'm lucky to be the family member who is 100% digitally astute and a foodie who loves cooking, baking, and recreating or reimagining our family recipes. I'm also adding the current generation's recipes now, so they don't have a chance of being lost! Last year I started The Dinner Bell to ensure our family recipes would live beyond the recipe box, a piece of paper, or a memory. My sisters and I have also asked our mom, aunts and uncles to guide us through their recipes - we make them, they mentor, so that when they've left us, we can make their recipes, with all their hidden unknown tweaks.
oh i love this post ! i’m in that exact dynamic- exploring and recreating according to food memories, historical recipes of my origins. it’s a fascinating travel in history and time.

I love everything about this, Jennifer!! Lots of inspiration to draw from in the efforts you're putting into your family recipes.
