COMFORT & JOY: Family recipe keeper shares a favourite

Aunt emphatic about preserving her mother's recipes

Welcome to our annual collection of community holiday recipes. Each year, the 91Ô­´´ Advance Times casts a wide net asking for local people to share Christmas recipes that hold some significance to their family or themselves. This year, there's everything from cookies, pancakes, and fruit pizza to scalloped potatoes and cornbread.

We hope you enjoy this year's feature. And while one of the recipes is provided below, the entire section is available for viewing by clicking into our eEditions here.

Happy holiday, one and all.

We are of German descent. This is a picture of myself with my Aunt Gathie Falk.

I help care for her in her home in Vancouver. She is 97 years old.

She is very strong willed when it comes to how things are cooked or baked, especially when it comes to her mother’s recipes, which would be my grandmother’s!
