This is why I have a binder of all our favorite recipes at our place.
My grandmother would make these glorious Christmas dinners when I was a kid - traditional desserts from Newfoundland, and a whole spread for dinner. Unfortunately she never wrote most those recipes down - she had them memorized from her mother. It’s so sad, as these recipes passed down from my great grandmother circa the 1920s (and maybe even from her parents) are now lost in time. We’ve used Newfoundland cookbooks like Rock Recipes which have some good approximations, but do I ever wish we knew what was the real thing.
