Recipes from a Great-Grandmother's Kitchen

Today, I want to share two cherished recipes from a truly special lady. Daffy, a 93-year-old great-grandmother from Australia, was a vibrant soul who touched hearts around the world. With her quick wit, warm humor, and generous spirit, she became everyone’s favorite grandmother—sharing recipes, laughter, and wisdom along the way. If you followed her on Facebook, you’ll remember how she welcomed us into her daily life, offering advice and joy with every post. Though she has since passed (may she rest in peace), her legacy lives on through the recipes and love she left behind.

Daffy shared her recipes for:

Spaghetti Bolognese,

Potato Bake

And many more…

Daffy’s Wise Words

Daffy shared the secrets behind many beloved family recipes—good, homemade food made with flair and a touch of fun. I followed her for a while, and every smile, every wise word, felt like a warm hug. Whether she was cracking jokes with her granddaughter or simply going about her day with love, she brought joy to everyone who watched.

She may not have known it, but she touched the hearts of so many—especially those who longed for the comfort of their own grandma’s kitchen.

Daffy's Spaghetti Bolognese

The secret lies in a very important ingredient which you must not leave out: the Worcestershire Sauce.

I have never had the opportunity to know my grandmother on either side of the family. Never had the opportunity to sit with them in the kitchen, listen to their stories, share a cup of tea, or laugh at silly things… Maybe this is true for you as well.. Thank you, Daffy for adding a smile to my day.
