About My Grandmother

 

My Grandma Ruby

     My grandmother ,Ruby, was a GREAT COOK.She was a devoted wife,mother and grandmother.Though she passed away long before I was born ,I've heard so many great stories of her huge parties where the entire road was invited.At church and in my community she is still remembered as an upstanding Christian and  for her delicious food.My mother has said that whatever she cooked was great and tasted different from everyone else's cooking.Back then gas stoves weren't used but coal stoves.Her recipes included ingredients that today are no longer a part of modern Jamaican cooking .Such as Gherkins,Mustard greens,Indian kale, Jhingi,Squash, Karaili, Long beans,Cilantro(Dhania)
