Not a cookbook, In My Mother’s Kitchen does contain reminiscence recipes to recapture the sights, sounds and even smells that bring back the lesson and the laughter from the past. Developed from Robin Edgar’s successful workshops on The Healing Power of Reminiscence, the self-help book preserves family histories and local culture in addition to guiding the reader to establish rituals for long-term bereavement benefits.

In My Mother's Kitchen has been embraced by Hospice and Alzheimer's caregivers for long term bereavement benefits as well as scrapbook and genealogy enthusiasts wishing to preserve their family legacies. Readers from around the world have sent their gratitude for the positive results they received from this simple book. A recent review in the summer 2003 edition of The American Academy of Bereavement News states: "...there are many ways to recapture the essence of the relationship and Robin Edgar provides us with a practical, yet heartwarming, method of bringing this vital bond back not only into memory, but into perspective."
Everyone has a story to tell. Since the beginning of time, storytelling has been used to explain our existence, preserve cultural history and honor our ancestors. The repetition of these stories brings about a powerful connection to who we are and why we are here. It is important for all of us to give ourselves permission to reminisce, whether it is in our grief or to record family histories for future generations.
