„It somehow gave me the feeling that I took my grandma with me that day.“
Yes! That is the essence of this event. These recipes that we recreate so lovingly are not simply about ingredients and temperatures and measurements. They are the sharing of love, they are the manifestation of out sacred links, and they are the way we make our dear ones vital and real in our lives. It’s all so much more than a meal; it’s the meaning we give to life in general. Thank you for so artfully articulating the message we are promoting.

This is a beautiful story! Since I have some German roots I completely
Understand the potato salad. I will keep the tradition alive in this Upcoming
My mothers recipe event with a Chilean Tomato Salad, or I may also surprise
With a Getman potato salad as well!

Thank you for a heartwarming reminder of the wonderful event last spring. I enjoy the My Mother’s Recipe even though my mother has departed long ago. I glimpse the mother-daughter moments that other share while we visit and eat and relate stories of the past. It makes your heart feel good as you depart the event. And, on this day, more is learned from the seniors than we can give/repay to them. I wish you could join us for the October event. You will be missed.

Thank you and the memories of your grandmother for coming to the last My Mother’s Recipe. This event is something different for everyone. Some people are still able to bring their mother or grandmother. My father is coming to the next one. Some people come to be with people who can talk about caregiving. Some people come because they are family food foodies. Dorothy comes because at 98 years old she likes to have a reason to cook, get out of her Bronx apartment and visit with „old friends.“ Maureen, who does not cook, comes with her mother who also does not cook because the food is better than the nursing home food and she just enjoys her mother’s company. We loved the German potato salad. And you were a cut baby who grew up to honor her grandmother.
