About the Program
Family history is about more than names and dates. It lives in the recipes passed down through generations, the meals shared around the table, and the traditions that bring families together. This presentation explores how food can be used to preserve family stories, cultural heritage, and personal memories. Attendees will learn how to gather recipes, capture the stories behind them, and create meaningful keepsakes that celebrate both family history and family traditions.
