As mentioned in an earlier newsletter, I have been compiling a family and friends cookbook. I tried nearly all of the 233 recipes and they are fanastic! The notes that accompany the recipes provide insights into family foodways. About the Cookbook I ended up with a box of recipes that belonged to my mother (Norma Childress). She learned to cook from her mother-in-law (Gladys Childress) after getting married at age 24. The Childress family recipes come out of a Midwestern farmhouse cooking tradition. My brothers and sister are excellent cooks. As we migrated out of the Midwest, we added recipes from the South, West, and England. The grandchildren also learned to cook well and added more contemporary recipes.
