I found an article last week in the newspaper and it was perfectly written to explain why the recipes of the past have relevance in our lives today. By talking about the recipes the writer was able to give us a flavor why each recipe was important.  It is that step by step through Grandma's recipes do find how she made her dishes and they tasted very good, Every time those recipes are made in that home those family members will remember her and take those flavors to the future. I often discuss right now that we need to look to our Grandmothers to find out how they made it out of the Great Depression and the recipe may be as close as our recipe boxes.
