Cooking In The Woods

I come from one of the best families in America, not that I'm completely biased or anything. I have been fortunate enough to have met my great-grand parents, but thats as far back as I can remember. However, we have recipes that date back generations before them. We have recipes that date back to where we started in Ireland, food that my ancestors survived off of in their early years in America. We've preserved our olfactory memories on index cards, written in pencil and splattered with batter, passed down from generation to generation. This year, as I prepared Thanksgiving for myself for the first time, I realized that many important pieces of the recipes were lost in translation. I realized that the sensory relationship with my ancestors might not make it to the next generation in one piece, so I decided to create a cookbook, built for my families legacy, durable enough to with stand spills and smudges for generations to come. The cookbook is complete with Irish recipes from whence my family first started, and all of the cultural recipes we've enjoyed as our family has expanded through decades, religion and ethnicities.
