The Power of Food and the Importance of Family Recipes
As a child I remember waking up early to the smell of my Moms cooking. She would rise at 6 or 7 AM to begin preparing a meal for the family. As usual, this meal would be special. She would know each of our favorite dishes and find the time to make all of them while offering breakfast to dinner. I believe food and family are intimately connected but now it is very difficult task with busy schedules when it comes to preserving this connection.
Documenting family recipes keeps part of the legacy of our relatives and loved ones alive. Each cook in family contributes her own flavor and style. Preserving family recipes is saving and honoring our heritage so future generations can continue to strengthen those ties. So, I want to record thoughts ideas and processes of our traditional family meals that will be handed down to our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. We build a bridge by which our loved ones can learn about who we are, even after we are gone from this world. Part of knowing the path ahead is to understand where you come from. This legacy of food passed down from one generation to another is a tool, a family tree of foods, a line that can be traced for decades into the past and the future.
