Each time I asked my mom how she prepared her specialty dish, she would share with me how she did it. But I've neither recorded nor tested her recipes. Beneath her piles of index cards filled with recipes plus handwritten notes, cookbooks, and cut out magazine pages with recipes my mom has barely touched are a precious collection of our family favorites, forever etched in our memories.
