"Welcome to The Legacy Project Podcast, where we explore how your life stories—big and small—can become part of a lasting legacy. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today we’re stirring up something warm, familiar, and deeply personal: writing about family recipes and the stories behind them.
Food is memory. It’s identity. It’s love passed down in handwritten notes and well-worn cookbooks, often with smudges of flour or a splash of sauce marking the page. Recipes are more than instructions—they’re vessels of tradition, celebration, and connection.
In today’s episode, we’ll talk about how to document your family’s recipes in a way that preserves not only what’s made—but why it’s made, who made it, and the stories those dishes carry with them. Let’s head into the kitchen—through memory—and get started."
