You know, a cookbook is just a bunch of recipes. When we add a few notes -- a little bit of personal family history -- even that butter-stained old coil-back notebook becomes a real treasure. Hope you're making notes on your own recipes, for future generations of cooks? :) Mary Emma, I’d love to see that old cookbook of your Auntie’s — any chance you’ll share some of the recipes online?

Hope you’re making notes on your own recipes, for future generations of cooks? :)

I have my Auntie's hand written notebook full of recipes. (A treasure for me since I often cooked with her.) She made some notes regarding whose recipes they might be, but nothing extensive. However, she did indicate ones that were her mother's, grandmother's, aunts'. I recoginze some of the names of friends from hearing my mom talk about them. I must make further notes so future generations know who these people were and how they were connected with my mom's family. And I should make copies of the notebook for my sister, daughter, neices and nephew. Thanks for sharing.
