FAQ:
Q: What if I never learned her actual recipe?
A: Then create one inspired by what she loved — even if it’s just tea and toast. The point isn’t replication; it’s remembrance.
Q: How do I keep her memory alive?
A: Through the small things: the smell of her favorite spice, the sound of her laughter, or the warmth of a family meal. Love endures in repetition.
Q: Why does cooking help with grief?
A: Because it engages all the senses. When your hands, heart, and memories work together, healing begins quietly — one stir at a time.
