Do you have favorite family recipes that you cherish? Is there a special dish, bread, or dessert that your Grandmother or Mother always made for certain holiday celebrations? Is there a story behind some of the family celebrations that you pass along from generation to generation? If so, you are not alone. Families share favorite recipes and pass along treasured stories that accompany them. More and more families are preserving these stories in the form of family cookbooks. On Saturday, April 12th from 1:30 – 3:30, the Aurora Historical Society will host Dr. Martha Pallante, Chair and Professor of History at Youngstown State University, at a workshop on Family Cookbooks. Dr. Pallante will lead participants through the fun and easy steps necessary to preserve your family stories as well as recipes and family history. This event is sponsored by the Ohio Humanities Council and is free and open to the public. Reservations are needed as this class is limited to thirty. Please bring three recipes and some family photos and scissors. To reserve your spot, call 330-995-3336 or email aurora.hist@alltel.net.
