I’ve seen the occasional post on Facebook showing a family recipe on someone’s tombstone. Now there’s a book with many recipes found on stones. More of these in cemeteries than I ever imagined. How did I hear about it? It was mentioned on a local radio show today by on-air personality Bradley Traynor, myTalk FM 107.1, here in Minnesota. Traynor is also interested in genealogy and every so often he mentions something that makes my ears perk up! It’s a pop culture station that I listen to when I don’t want to hear the news or politics of the day. Lot of silliness, too, but food, movies, TV shows, actors, musicians, gossip, some games, and an escape from daily chores.
Here’s a link to a long post on EATER.com about the book and lots of details from the author, Rosie Grant. https://www.eater.com/eater-at-home/916291/rosie-grant-gravestone-recipes-book
