    Barbara, perhaps this is the way I could record our favourite family recipes and add reminiscences about the people who cooked them. Diana

A French Connection

Image
A French family connection was discovered through my genealogy research with my great grandfather, Francis (aka Joseph) Ascoli (1821-1895). Three siblings' birth certificates (Alf (my grandfather), Sarah and Marcus), all show their father's birthplace as France (specifically Marseille, on the birth certificates for Alf and Marcus). Ascoli birth certificates, siblings: Ernest Albert (aka Alf) 1872, Sarah Hannah 1875, Marcus George Daniel 1877. Mother Christina Long (note transcription error, Christina Dong, on Alf's birth certificate). Marseille is the oldest city in France and an ancient trading port. It is famous for Bouillabaisse, a traditional fish soup, made with a variety of local fish and shellfish, cooked with herbs and spices, and served with a garlicky sauce and crusty bread. A simple Bouillabaisse recipe from Rhodes, Lorna. 1989. The Book of Soup s. p 107. Joseph Ascoli's French ancestry was further confirmed through shipping records that stated he was French

The Coraki cake and sweet shop, 1954

Image
Our family lived in the small town of Coraki (opposite the Catholic church, school, and convent) before we moved to live in Inverell in 1954. Link to  Coraki,    https://coraki.town/history  link below for the history of Coraki, NSW. Dad (Albert Ascoli, 1912-2001) worked my maternal grandparent’s dairy farm which was situated just out of town on the Casino Road. Albert had built a new dairy and was improving the farm. See:   Family Charts    Patrick Gooley and Lenora Lulham family chart (my maternal grandparents) . Mum (Babe Gooley, 1906-1993) decided she could help the family finances by starting a shop from our home. Albert built a shop counter (through to one of the front rooms) so customers could order and collect their goods from the veranda. Babe catered for the school students, their parents and teachers, and any passing customers. It was the school tuckshop and the local cake and sweet shop. Babe recalled later that she also provided a lot of free scones and cakes to the nu
