Of course, like everyone’s grandmothers, mine has the best cooking. A couple of years ago I told her that she needed to write down all of her recipes for the family to have and enjoy. That summer her and I spent a lot of time writing down the recipes and creating a family cookbook that we gave everyone for Christmas. You can see a digital copy of her cookbook on our Ivory Family Association website, GenerationIvory.

My Grandmother is remembered for her spaghetti sauce. One with tomatoes and the one made with anchovies for Christmas Eve.

My grandmother died 30 years ago but I still remember the beautiful sponge cake that she made. It was called light as air sponge and it really was.

My grandmother made a special chocolate cake for my birthday each year. I cannot replicate it.

My paternal grandmother had a large brood of kids, and she always tried to satisfy their sweet tooth with various pies. Her best were mincemeat (definitely NOT my fav!), and blueberry. Just mentioning it and I can almost smell one coming warm out of the oven. I wish I had inherited her pastry skills, but, alas, I am afraid they skipped my generation — only one of the grandchildren bakes pastry. My maternal grandmother liked mostly simple dishes and I don’t really remember any standout dish (she died when I was really young), but I do remember meatloaf and mashed potatoes.

My grandmother had a very special recipe, putting all the leftovers together and made a whole new dish. Didn’t like it too well. My mother did better than that.
