Okay, so we have all seen the ads that talks about the soup in the can that grannie picks off of the shelf, passes to mummy and then onto the daughter.
I have a number of recipes that have been passed to me from my mum, or from my nana, or from my aunty.
These recipes are old style. They are part recipes, that require the feel and not just pure measurement. A pastry recipe that says 5 large handfuls of self-raising flour. It's about how the mixture feels and how well I can remember the way we made it last time at home.
I love the fact that my recipe book is filled with "Mums Spinach Pie" and "Aunty Leslie's Lemon Pie" and "Catherine's Caramel Slice".
These things will live forever. They will be passed to friends who ask for the recipe.
It's very special... to me
