Recipes My Mother Gave Me by Stephanie Alexander is a heartfelt tribute to culinary heritage, intertwining three generations of family recipes and memories. In this 1997 publication, Alexander presents her mother Mary Burchett’s 1960 cookbook, Through My Kitchen Door, enriched with personal annotations and reflections. The collection showcases a blend of traditional and adventurous dishes—from classic Scots shortbread and meat and potato pie to more unconventional offerings like ch'ao mien and gugelhupf—highlighting Mary’s pioneering embrace of international flavors in mid-20th-century Australia.
