This Mother’s Day getting your mother’s recipes written down is the best gift you can give. She will be happy you asked and are taking the time to write down your favorite foods.It is all a good thing. As I always say it is the gift that keeps on giving to the many generations of your family, even some you may never meet. If you have not purchased my cd that contains lots of forms that are down load-able, you still have today for shipping and getting it to you by this mother’s day. The price is saled price for all those family reunioners but you can take advantage of the price for a little bit extra gift. Go in and print the recipe form and story forms—more recipe forms. Bring them with you and the flowers you will buy for this mother’s day.

Hoping others don't make the same mistake, Miles has published In Good Taste (BookWise, $19.95). The cookbook includes a collection of more than 900 tried-and-true recipes that Miles has collected over three decades in the kitchen.  More importantly, it offers customers a guide for creating a family history cookbook. Those who purchase the book receive access to a website with templates for compiling family recipes, stories, historical information. Too often families talk about preserving their culinary history, Miles said, but never do it. She suggests Mother's Day on May 9 is a good time to start compiling. "It will be the book the family fights over when you die."  Nancy Miles has published "In Good Taste" (BookWise,... (Steve Griffin/The Salt Lake Tribune)
