Since I was very close with both my grandmas I can identify with this story. Many of the best recipes are scribbled on handwritten notes and stuffed into the cookbook. The author spells out some cooking jargon and proper measurements to re-create these 100 year old classics.I didn't know the EU had taken the healthy step of banning bleaching and maturing agents in flour. She gives tips on how to overcome this.I've got a horrendous sweet tooth so don't like to tempt myself. But the Almond cookies had my mouth watering. Funny that the author loves the smell of these cookies but hates the taste of almonds! Even more so since smell and taste are linked together. Also nice the author gives English and metric amounts for the ingredients.
