When my Aunt Maria Ciancio passed away recently at age 92, my husband made a request: Save the family recipes. I did.
Maria – "Nini" to her sisters' children – was not the family's alpha cook. That role fell first to my grandmother and then to my Aunt Sophie, now 93 and the oldest of my grandmother's three daughters.
Nini, however, did something her mother and two sisters didn't do. She wrote down their recipes.
