My Great Grandfather, William Adam Bisset Scott, was riding his bicycle home when he was hit by a car. Initial reports indicate that he was taken to hospital "with slight concussion and severe leg lacerations" but he later died from "extensive injuries sustained".

So what does this have to do with recipes you may be wondering?
From what I was told, Agnes operated a tea house after the death of her husband and she was a wonderful cook.

My cousin recently made me aware that he holds Agnes' recipe book. The first couple of pages are pictured below.

It amused me to read in one of the recipes "heat over slow fire and stir".
Unfortunately, I am not much of a cook (my husband does the cooking in this house) but it is my goal to prepare every recipe in the book in the coming weeks/months. I hope to share them with you.
