My grandmother and her friends worked in the cafeteria at a local trade school. When they got together for their quilting circle, they would eat teacakes and talk about ideas and trade recipes to try out. They would try it out as a featured item at home and if it got good reviews then it stayed. My grand mother never wrote her recipes down, but she taught her daughters, how to cook who then shared the cooking experience with me. When I got old enough to reach the stove, they both helped cultivate my desire to stay a part of the kitchen. I in turn taught my kids and my granddaughter. I have decided to share these recipes with those who want them.
