Every family has recipes that get passed down from generation to generation. The recipes that come out during big holiday and traditional “food” moments. I unfortunately missed out on food traditions growing up. I was unsuccessful in locating even a single recipe from my family tree. So, I created my own. This recipe book is not going to be laid out in a traditional cookbook manner. I will highlight the recipe as a part of the story of how and why it was created. These are recipes along with the story that haven’t been passed down from generation to generation but will someday. Even if you don’t have a food background with deep routed traditions, it’s never too late to start your own traditions with food.
