This is my grandmother’s recipe box. Roma’s Recipes are a collection of all the recipes from my childhood that she saved over the decades from her time as a homemaker, from her mother, and more. Nearly every recipe is handwritten in her beautiful script, and it’s an absolute privilege for me to have her recipe tin.
