Whether recipes are handed down on stained, old recipe cards or shared from one generation to the next, most families have got a book's worth of them.
The Sacramento Public is hosting a series of classes (Jan. 21 and 28; Feb. 4, 11, 25; and March 3) to help you compile recipes from your family. You'll learn how to focus on which recipes to select, how to gather, test and transcribe old written recipes into modern directions.
The series of six classes takes place on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon in the Community Room of the Belle Cooledge Library, 500 South Land Park Drive, Sacramento. Early registration (hurry, the deadline's Jan. 7) is $241. Regular registration is $267
