The Story
My grandma kept her recipes in a green box — so did my mom — and the name stuck in my head as shorthand for any stash of old recipe cards. Then I found two grey boxes at an antique store stuffed with hundreds of handwritten recipes dating back to 1942. This archive is where I'm cataloguing them, with help from anyone who wants to join in.
