Generational Cooking is not a cookbook or a story about cooking but a highly personal account from the point of view of a caregiver and how she has lived her life. It is a play on words, so to speak. Though the caregiver does make meals and serve them to the ones she cares for, all along, the caregiver is evolving through her life and theirs. The caregiver recollects childhood memories as an adult and relives them through the eyes of the loved ones with whom she made those same memories. It is the hope of the author that those who read may realize they are not alone. There are many of us out there with the same struggles and insecurities. Rest assured, there are many people and organizations to help you along the way. I believe that, even though going home again may present many obstacles and challenges, you can indeed go home again. Melrose will always be my home. It will be the home of those who have lived and died here. It is the home in my most cherished memories. It is home forever.
