In the dusty attic of my grandmother’s home, a forgotten box revealed a treasure trove of memories that would ignite a spark within me. As I uncovered letters, photographs, and a hand-carved figure of a family gathered at a table, I envisioned a new tradition—a feast where generations would unite to share their stories, weaving together laughter and lessons from the past. Each dish would symbolize a branch of our diverse family tree, inviting everyone to contribute their own culinary homage, ensuring the tradition evolved with each passing year. Yet, amid the excitement, a whisper of fear emerged: how could we preserve these narratives in a world that often feels fragmented? Inspired, I decided to create an heirloom book to safeguard our stories, so that future generations could find connection and belonging, ensuring that our shared humanity would echo through time.
