Episode Synopsis
Send us a text"Welcome to The Legacy Project Podcast, where we explore how your life stories—big and small—can become part of a lasting legacy. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today we’re stirring up something warm, familiar, and deeply personal: writing about family recipes and the stories behind them.Food is memory. It’s identity. It’s love passed down in handwritten notes and well-worn cookbooks, often with smudges of flour or a splash of sauce marking the page. Recipes are more than instructions—they’re vessels of tradition, celebration, and connection.In today’s episode, we’ll talk about how to document your family’s recipes in a way that preserves not only what’s made—but why it’s made, who made it, and the stories those dishes carry with them. Let’s head into the kitchen—through memory—and get started."TheLegacyProject.mePurchase copies of The Legacy Project book at Amazon.comYou can also get a copy of Service Before Self my autobiography at Amazon.com #TheLegacyProject #Autobiographies #ThePowerofLegacy #Legacy #YourWhy #Storytelling #StructureinWriting #Youtube #X #Instagram #ServiceBeforeSelf #Ancestry #WritingforPosterity "Start writing.
