My mum is Isilda Del Carmen Lang née Cuevas-Aguilera. You can read her recipe book and donate to her hospice if you like. Chilean recipes important to her community of childminded kids in Sheffield.

The recipe book is just a little project friends (parents of now grown up childminded kids like @proletics) put together to celebrate her.

She’s in Burngreave / Pitsmoor in Sheffield, and a refugee/survivor of Pinochet’s Chile. Read an interview in next tweet 👉

She spoke to @theBMessenger in 2002 about her life in brief

With Kim Streets, now chief exec @SheffMuseums

In 2020 she also appeared on this @ReformRadioMCR Refugee Week show. Nice to listen to as her voice is out of action at the moment.

She was in Jeremy Abraham’s ARRIVALS: Making Sheffield Home exhibition too. Jeremy took this defining portrait of her and let us use it for the book.
