Heirloom Meals: Savoring Yesterday's Traditions Today

Heirloom Meals is much much more than recipes but we realize that recipes indeed reflect many of the stories we are hearing from people.

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.
