For Jiménez-Sandoval’s family, food became an intersection between honoring loved
ones and building foundations for future generations. After Jiménez-Sandoval’s mother
passed away, sharing her recipes became an important way to honor her memory. “I
had this desire to show my children the food that my mom perfected, because knowing
the food of your grandmother, means knowing your grandmother,” Jiménez-Sandoval
said. Baking this apple pie recipe now represents an opportunity to create new
memories; it’s one of Jiménez-Sandoval’s contributions to the special recipes that bring
them together in their love as a family.
