Recipe Box

My grandmother, my Mamaw, tinkered with classic recipes, tested and retest original recipes, and dreamed up new ways to incorporate trending ingredients and flavors. She baked on instinct and muscle memory, and many of her recipes never made it to paper. However, of the 200+ recipes she did write down, many were just lists of ingredients or outlines of concept—more akin to notes or reminders than actual recipes.

As I bake through her recipes and notes, I also wanted to document, preserve and share her collection with you. So I hope you and your family enjoy this collection of recipes by my southern grandma, with an occasional twist and a few new recipes by her southern granddaughter, me.
