My Mother’s Cookbooks Blog, Relaunch!

Hey, friends and family! I am pleased to announce the relaunch of My Mother’s Cookbooks blog beginning Saturday, 7 September 2024 with the first installment of a multipart series called Atlantic Canadian Women of the Cloth – homebased textile producers: 19th century and beyond. This series will cover many of the familiar as well as less familiar textiles produced in homes across Atlantic Canada. Recipes from the My Mother’s collection, inspired by the featured women and their lives, will continue to appear with each blog post.

On 7 Sept, Homespun and Mrs. Campbell will provide an introduction to homebased textile production and in the same post, Fanny’s Frugal Food Hacks, Planned Leftovers – Mashed potato pancakes.

So what is new at My Mother’s Cookbook blog?

There is a new feature at My Mother’s Cookbooks. I have not been totally inactive over the last months. I have been dipping my toes into writing fiction, which is a huge departure for this technical writer (Seriously, one of my former job titles). So, you can expect to see some of my efforts appearing from time to time. I will enjoy any feedback you can provide about any aspect of My Mother’s Cookbooks, but most especially what you think about my ‘fictional vignettes’.

Stay Tuned! Cheers, Eliza

Acknowledgement: I acknowledge that the land on which I live and write about is the traditional unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) and Mi’kmaq Peoples. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) and Mi’kmaq Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.
