I wasn't expecting to be able to post this weekend, but the travelling has been postponed for another week so I've rushed around and come up with this: our old family recipes, mostly hand-written and passed on. There are recipes there from my great-aunt (1899-1988), my mother, my mother-in-law, my cousin, my sister. We all love cooking.My great-aunt was a fantastic cook and obsessive recipe collector. She and my grandmother ran the Lakeview Cafe many years ago, and my great-aunt did all the cooking and baking herself. My grandmother was a good cook too but she ran the business side of things and left her sister to be the creative one.
