Lois' daughter, Marilyn Hayes put together a 566 page archival family cookbook not so long ago and I have a copy. It also includes a family history/tree, tho' 426 pages are of food and recipes, and often the story that goes along w/ the recipe.
Beatrice Ojakangas, the James Beard cookbook award winning Mn cookbook writer( The Great Scandinavian Baking Book; The Cooking of Finland, and 23 or more others), recommends that we all compile a family cookbook. It of course should include all the food recipes, but also the family histories and stories that accompany our daily bread.And photos. A great legacy and treasure for any family and future generations.
A three ring binder is sufficient. Copies can be made for all family members. The recipes do not have to be your own - but ones the family and friends have used.
It does not have to be 566 pages long, either.
