What this helps you do
The Recipes We Kept treats a family recipe as more than ingredients and method. Each double-sided card keeps the practical recipe beside the person, occasion, memory and small details that explain why it matters.
Use the interview prompts to capture recipes in the cook’s own words, then organize copies for a box, binder or family archive. Both A4 and US Letter editions are included for home printing.
Exactly what is included
- Double-sided 6 × 4 recipe and story cards
- Ingredients, method, timing and serving fields
- Prompts about the cook, occasion, origin and memory
- Family interview guidance
- Table-conversation prompts
- Recipe index and archive pages
- A4 and US Letter printable editions
A list of ingredients survives, while the handwriting, occasions, adaptations and family meaning are often lost.
Double-sided 6 × 4 recipe-and-story cards pair practical cooking details with interview prompts and archive tools.

I’m a person who has done genealogy for years, but it has been through Family Tree Maker and Family Search. I am starting over with my direct ancestors with this kit, as I felt that I needed to do this on paper. The directions in the kit are very detailed and informative as to how to start the process. The forms are very helpful and straightforward. I highly recommend this kit.
Really well thought out. A great aide in helping me keep everything organized as I research my family history.
Absolutely love this set! The charts are beautifully designed, clear, and very easy to use. You can tell a lot of thought went into the details. Exactly what I was looking for to organize my family history research. Highly recommend!
