Elaine Crawford and Kelly Crawford
Elaine Crawford (daughter of Marion Webb and Robert
Laird), and daughter Kelly Crawford, have possession of
Lucy Maud Montgomery's handwritten recipe book.  
"Aunt Maud," as the Webb-Laird-Crawford family
always called Lucy Maud, gave the book to Anita Webb
after Maud had recopied the recipes into another book
for herself.  In time, the handwritten book became the
property of Anita's sister, Marion, and was then given to
Marion's daughter, Elaine.

In 1996, Elaine Crawford and Kelly Crawford selected
recipes from the original recipe book and published them
in
Aunt Maud's Recipe Book so that recipes for foods that
Montgomery served to her family and friends could be
shared with others.  

Crawford's, a village bakery on the edge of Norval,
Ontario, has been owned and operated by Robert and
Elaine Crawford since 1967, with the help of their
daughter, Kelly.  

The Crawfords have a collection of letters to and from L.
M. Montgomery as well as their Aunt Maud's original
cookbook manuscript.
Three generations of the family: Marion Laird (seated),
Elaine Crawford (at right) and Kelly Crawford, with
Aunt Maud's handwritten recipe book, full of recipes
collected from family and friends in both Prince Edward
Island and Ontario in the early 20th century.
