Meaty, saucy, cheesy Christmas Day lasagna, coming right up.
Nothing, really. And, well, everything. Because I was lucky enough to grow up with two amazing grandmas who cooked for me, and who in turn taught me how to cook. And when you’re in your 30s, cooking for yourself and your own family, that means a whole lot.
This was around the same time my only sibling, John, got married and he and his wife, Heather, started splitting the holidays between their families. It goes without saying that the version of Christmas I grew up with changed after that. So one day I called Grandma Jo to get her lasagna recipe, pleading with her that I missed it and needed to make it myself. She recounted it to me from memory over the phone, and I took rigorous notes making sure not to miss any details.
Four parts, lots of ingredients, and many steps later, it was finally mine, an unwritten recipe from my namesake. And one I had taken for granted. Because when I asked her if she’d gotten this recipe from her mother or grandmother, she told me she actually didn’t know how to cook until she got married and that she had to teach herself, mostly from cookbooks.
