Tucked away on a kitchen shelf are often the most treasured recipes of all: those written down by a loved one, covered with evidence of previous cooking attempts, and worn from use. As the ingredients for each special dish are mixed together, memories are stirred up too—of conversations over a hot stove, culinary secrets shared, and the special care that went into each meal.
