My Aunt died recently and yesterday we did more clearing of her flat. I now own a box of family bibles, a fur coat and her folder of recipes! You know the one - torn magazine clippings, printed emails from long lost friends and then you get down through the layers to the exciting bit - the hand written recipes on old envelopes and post-it notes.
There's even a small notebook with I think my grandmother's writing in - she died when I was 8 so I'm not sure but I do remember her baking! She was WI through and through so I have high hopes of some of them.
Anyway, I needed to share this with some fellow cooks - not everyone will quite understand just how awesome this is! Also, you can learn a lot about someone from their recipes... every third one contains rum...
bon appetit
