OK, I just mailed out letters to my two uncles in CT informing them of the planned surprise party for my mother as well as my ideas on publishing a cookbook about my grandmother's recipes. I am hoping to get a lot of information from them, I know it's a lot to ask but I'm hoping they'll see that the fruits of their labor will be sweet. They will have a book that they can pass on to their kids who will then pass it down to their children. I'm interested in some detailed information about Grandma Baldwin.... details they know about her life in Orono, Maine as well as how she met my grandfather, what kind of teacher she was, what kind of mother she was, and especially information about the food she baked for them. I'm planning on the book being part family memoir and part cookbook. I'm not certain if or how I will combine my dad's and other family recipes in a way that it will blend well. I'm still working on that. Maybe they won't work together at all (??). I'm at ground level at this point. Anyone that has any ideas or suggestions please feel free to comment. Uncle Alan and Uncle Bob, if you're reading- any information you can provide would be most appreciated as well. I'm hoping to make one of Grandma Baldwin's recipes this weekend.... stay tuned for a recipe and some photos. :)
Although this blog site is dedicated soley to my grandmother's recipes, they will also be posted on my main food blog: http://www.threebitesfoodblog.com/ . For those new to Three Bites, it's a place where I journal all of my culinary experiences.
One last note... please scroll to the bottom of the page and answer my poll. I am very interested in your responses.
