“It’s a good keeper if it ever gets the chance to keep.” Nanabelle

Family recipes are cherished items that are portals to the past, connecting us to people, past events, places, and feelings. A handwritten recipe can communicate so much. The words above feature at the bottom of my great grandmother’s boiled fruit cake recipe written out by my nana. It’s written out in nana’s characteristic handwriting including imperial measurements, helpful instructions, and a touch of humour. Seeing her handwriting displayed in our home brings her and my great grandmother to our thoughts and adds a feeling of nostalgia and warmth. Baking the recipe triggers memories of happy days spent with Nanabelle.

To produce the design, I digitally draw over a photograph or scan of the original recipe, carefully recording the characterful handwriting. This creates a vector file that can be scaled to any size without losing quality and is used to produce the final design.
