This project was a monster to accomplish. There were many times I had to ask myself, "What did I get into?" with the many late nights I spent preparing and cooking the food. Despite the late nights and the many hours, I am so grateful that I was able to work on something that has a personal significance to me. 

​

I gained a greater appreciation for all that my grandmother has done throughout the years because she is constantly cooking for me and my family. Up until the making of this cookbook, I hadn't realized the amount of time and sacrifice she put into creating these wonderful meals time and time again. 

​

There is so much more that I have to learn when it comes to making my grandmother's recipes, but because of this project I have a way to keep her with me no matter how far apart we may be.
