An Ode to the Oldies...

This blog is not a display of my culinary skills, it is rather a huble collection of recipes collected over the years from my mother, grandmother , mother-in-law, kith and kin et al. Some of these recipes are plain old - probably made in everyone's home , some are defined and manipulated by the maker, some borrowed from friends and cookbooks , some just played around by me. Like the saying goes "No one who cooks, cooks alone. Even at her most solitary, a cook in the kitchen is surrounded by generations of cooks past, the advice and menus of cooks present, the wisdom of cookbook writers." Laurie Colwin
