Carol's story
Why did I start MyDish?
When my husband, Kenny’s mother passed away he brought home two scraps of paper with her hand written recipes that he remembers from when he was a boy – Banana Bread and Lemon Meringue Pie.
I realised that many of us have treasured food memories handed down through the generations and MyDish allows both their recipes and those of their families to live through future generations!
My connection with Great Ormond Street Hospital
My son Oliver was rushed to Great Ormond Street Hospital with a kidney problem when he was 10 years old. We stayed in the hospital for a week with Oliver on some pretty serious medicines. When he was well and came back for a check-up he wanted to give something back to the hospital to say thanks and to help the other children.
So when we started MyDish it was Oliver’s initiative to create the recipe books as a way for people to raise funds for their own charity and today we are working with Great Ormond Street Hospital to support Bake it Better.
