Family story

From the Hawthorne family table

The cookbook preserves recipes, names, and memories connected to the wider Hawthorne family.

Origins

Mary Susan Young (“Minnie”) and Christopher Wynn Hawthorne (“Kit”) married on June 25, 1896. Their family story anchors the cookbook and frames the recipes as part of a larger family archive.

  • Family names and branches appear throughout the opening pages.
  • The cookbook was compiled in November 1989.
  • Recipes are credited to individual family members and contributors.

Why this site is split into pages

This cookbook is better served by a small group of linked pages than by one oversized HTML file.

  • Home page for orientation
  • Kitchen guide for front-matter reference
  • Recipe index for search and discovery
  • Single recipe pages for sharing and printing
