Recipes from Everglades City, Florida
A Daughter's Perspective
My mother was an excellent cook - creative and abundant! As children (and there are seven of us) we never went hungry! Visiting friends were envious, cleaning their plates every time. She didn't worry much about what one of us didn't like and we were told to just eat around it. There is a story I recall about my father complaining there was something in his eye, and from the kitchen my mother was heard to say, "Oh, just shut up and eat around it." This woman - her wit, her ease in the kitchen, her endless energy in creating amazing food - will also leave me in awe.
I will include any notes she made with each recipe. I have added a search bar to assist in locating specific recipes easily.
Enjoy.
