I DO have a few copies of some old Polish family recipes... but like any good family recipe, the best way to make them is when you've been taught how by someone else. I'm still interested in learning to make a few more dishes from all three of my ethic lineages (Polish, Irish, and Hungarian).. simply because it's a piece of my culture I want my kids to share. Erin.. do you have any signature familiy dishes that you make or would like to learn to make? I seem to recall Chris having the osso buco, no? what would be your top ones?

Though I don't want to dig a huge hole to have a clambake, I like knowing how to do it if the urge strikes. I love good old local cookbooks, especially with the authentic old recipes.

It is so important to save these treasures, and pass them down. I think I have over 100 cookbooks at this point... my grandmother had two. Two books and a recipe box. Her recipes aren't local (to me anyways) but adapting her southern favorites to my local produce/meats has been something I've been enjoying doing for awhile. It's my way of eating local and keeping family traditions alive. I think you’re absolutely right. It is so important to save these treasures, and pass them down.

I have the same cookbooks your grandmother used. My sister gave them to me when I got married 30 years ago! Marjorie's books are my "go to" books for sure. My daughter who recently has left the nest asked for her own set of "Marjorie cookbooks". We are doing are part in preserving local recpies here in Central Maine. My Goodness.
