August 2021 - A Grandmother’s Legacy
Jenny Mallin spoke about a large leather bound book, which was started off by her great great great grandmother, Wilhelmina Hardy in 1844 containing her Portuguese / German / English family recipes which was then handed down to her daughter who did the same, and that book kept on getting handed down from generation to generation (her talk centred on the recipes, the history of those recipes and how that book evolves with each generation reflecting where the grandmothers were living at that time (i.e. we come across an early version of the coroma curry which great great grandma Maud wrote in 1900).
The talk was thoroughly enjoyed by 29 connections on Zoom which meant an audience of about 38 members.
