Throughout my personal project, I’ll be creating a cookbook full of recipes that originated from my family, as well as the favourite foods of some of my closest friends and family. Some of my favourite recipes come from my grandmother on my mom’s side (Grammy). What inspired this idea was noticing that in so many ways food can bring people together. Everytime my friends have tried her recipes, everyone is always talking about how good the food is. My Grammy lives on the side of the world from me which makes it challenging to keep a strong relationship, but food has always brought us close, even if I only see her 1-2 times a year. She used to visit Hong Kong every year and we would always cook together. Cooking together has always been a cherished memory for me. As she gets older it’s harder for her to travel, so I see her less and less.
