Introduction

I'm 37 years old and many hours of my life I've spent in a kitchen. Watching, learning, cooking, baking, solving problems. My parents told me many many things in cooking but my nan told me everything in baking. When in doubt, bake, that's what she did, that's what I do. My heart broke, the day she died in 2016 and apart from the love she left in all our lifes she left me a cookbook. HER cookbook, hand written. It contains the history of this family in a way, it contains memories, it contains friendships, refers to other women she's met on her way and who told her different recipies. This book means the world to me and as a tribute to my grandmother, I want to share it. With everyone who is interested in baking and cooking, with everyone who is interested in beloved cooking, creating food with passion. It won't be perfect, but it will be true and honest.
