Preserving Family Recipes: A conversation with Lori Olson White
Bringing history to life
Years ago, my grandma typed out the many hand written recipes from her recipe card box along with a few sentences about who liked each recipe the most, when she was most likely to make it and other memories about each dish. My grandpa added clip art, printed many copies, placed each recipe in a sheet protector and organized them inside binders.
They gave each of their children and grandchildren a copy for Christmas one year and I am certain that every single person who received one would tell you the same thing: It’s one of my most treasured possessions.
Family recipes are a record of traditions and memories. The are a way to bring the past to life by recreating the sights, smells, taste and experience of our family history in a real and tangible way.
If preserving family recipes is something that calls to you, join myself and
on Thursday, July 10 for a discussion about all the ways to accomplish it.
Lori is an Author, Genealogist, and Story Collector who writes two substack publications about preserving culinary and family history, Culinary History is Family History and The Lost and Found Story Box.
She is a treasure trove of information about all the ways to keep our histories alive. We will all come away from this conversation inspired and with practical knowledge that we can implement to preserve our own culinary history.

DAH! Unfortunately, I'll be missing this as I host my Projectkin event about family stories shared in a Potluck starting at 10 Pacific time. I'll do my best to jump over there as quickly as possible. @Lori Olson White is fantastic! What a collaboration.
I DO hope you'll share the recording.
I’ll do my very best to join! This is so interesting to me
