Rachel, I often hear friends speak about watching and help in their grandmothers cook and bake in the kitchen. My last grandparent died when I was three so I don't have these fond memories, but I did have two aunts, one on each side, who enjoyed baking especially. I got a few recipes from Dad's sister before seh died at the age of 92, but never got any of the aunt on Mom's side which I totally regret. Boy could she bake. Her specialty was apple pie. I can make a mean apple pie, but often wonder how the ingredients compared to hers.

I'm all for you starting that cookbook. Your family will be eternally grateful.
