Grand Dishes: Time-perfected recipes and stories from grandmothers of the world

  • About

Iska’s grandmother, ‘Lally’, is a slight lady now and much less adept at getting around than she once was. She wears thick glasses and struggles to make out shapes. Still, her dress sense is impeccable and she has an air of refinement about her that can be quite intimidating (much like Iska), regardless of her age.

She may well have been born in Germany to German parents but not a trace of her heritage remains in her accent. A clipped received-pronunciation English betrays nothing of her past, which spilled out over a weekend spent sipping tea and chopping ‘granny carrots’ with her in her bright, modernist-feeling Exeter home in the UK.
