family cookbook request
Share your food memories of Helen
As I have mentioned to some of you, I am working with a personal historian, Dawn Roode, to put together an heirloom cookbook that includes some of our favorite recipes from and reminiscences of Helen—and I need your help!
Please fill out the form below with your remembrances for inclusion in the book.
A separate invitation will come via email requesting her recipes.
A few tips for your story sharing:
Be specific. Share stories and details and moments in time to bring Helen to life for us. When possible, skip compliments in favor of remembered experiences that illustrate her wonderful traits.
Add in your viewpoint. Which recipes or celebrations were YOUR favorite? Why? Were there any dishes or ingredients you didn’t prefer? Are there some things you now cook from her repertoire? Did certain meals make you feel comfort? Will certain foods always remind you of her or Bob?
You don’t need to have a recipe to share a particular story. Even if there is a dish you have NO IDEA how it was made, if you have a story that resonates, please share it.
