 One of the things I really would have enjoyed was a cookbook from my grandmother. Alas, she was one of those wonderful chefs that had literally everything in her head. I have to confess to seeing a small address size book that had all kinds of pen scratchings in it… but it didn’t LOOK to my young eyes as a cookbook… but it was! Her book was covered with all the abreviations that frequented some of the wonderful cooks from the ages. I look back and wish I had it today!

So with a lot of proding from my adult children, I produced a mini-cookbook ( primarily to see how it looked and how it works) for them using the tools from mypublisher.com. Fortunately for you, they just updated their software making it much easier.  I will work on a more larger and complete book with all the little details that I omitted from this book… but it will take me a year ladies, so be patient.

it's fun to flip through the little book and see all the fun things we have enjoyed over the years.

Obviously, I left out a lot. Laura commented that it contains only manfood… you know, desserts and entrees. Well, I did have one recipe for a marvelous salad dressing. The next book will have much more.

So, before your grandmother or the chef in your life moves on… capture some of those memories in a book!
