What a great idea to pass on to the kids. I have two large boxes of recipes & recipe books to sort thru or just pass on to Marymine. She is the best cook in the whole family. I have no idea where she got that talent. Oh, I do hope you make a book of them. What a great idea to pass on to the kids.

I used to collect Theodore Fitz and Brenda Costigan recipes from the newspapers. Also Georgina Campbell (Sunday Tribune) and Paulo Tullio (Sunday Indo) and many of the recipes are still old favourites around here. I spotted a lovely recipe in a magazine (at the hairdressers) today for Raspberry and Almond Slices. It looked so yummy, I got out my pen and paper and copied it all down. I'll try it out first and if it tastes as good as it looked in the magazine, I'll send you on the recipe (no dairy in it). Lovely, nostalgic post, GM

Thanks, Grannymar. I'm so late getting in here, I'll just say "ditto" to most of the comments above. They're all appropriate. Another idea to copy! Thanks, Grannymar.

She has a card index box and each recipe (once successfully tested) is handwritten onto a card. The cards are also organised under categories like hot meals, salads, desserts etc. I don't have my own box, I'm too lazy, I just pinch Jenny's recipes. Jenny’s recipes are very well organised.

WWW - I felt this post would ring bells for you! I hope you locate your mother's recipe book with all the treasures. Nancygrayce - Welcome and thank you for your comment. The notebook belongs to my sister so it will be returned to her with all the the scraps of paper once I have finished playing with it. Gaelikaa - Mammy was the most common term used for a mother, when I was growing up. Elly calls me mum or Grannymar these days - I don't mind either.
