Not surprisingly, many of the "recipes" from days gone by are actually "guides" that a seasoned cook whips up without ever opening a cookbook. So here are some of Carole's Concoctions and the beginning of the collection from her radio guests and others who are willing to share.

What about your own family's Heirloom Recipes?
