Recipes Kept

Yellowed recipe cards with stains and creases and notes written in cursive contain the most delectable memories we have as a collective species: what food brought us together. If you want a taste of the dishes that made yesteryear delicious, I’ve kept them here. If you’ve lost a family recipe, perhaps you’ll find something similar.

Recipes Kept began with my grandmother’s recipe tin. I’ve started to archive her recipes here in the “Roma’s Recipes” collection. Since then, I’ve expanded Recipes Kept to include recipes from tins I’ve purchased at thrift stores and estate sales so they don’t become lost to time. You can view them by collection or search for a specific dish. I’ve archived everything from cakes to casseroles and much, much more.

Below, you can view the collections by opening a recipe tin or you can search the entire collection for just about any dish you can think of.
