ABOUT THE COOK
Ian Williamson, a resident of the Valley, has contributed his special recipe, Funeral Pie, to The Longbeach Mall Cookbook. The story behind the name of the pie is quite touching. It was made by a dear friend, Debbie Jane Viljoen, for Ian’s family on the occasion of his mother-in-law’s passing. Despite its somber origins, the pie holds a special place in their hearts and will always be known as Funeral Pie within their family. Debbie Jane Viljoen was a former deputy head at Sun Valley Primary, known for her dedication, kindness, and loyalty. Her passing in January 2021 from COVID complications has left a void in the Valley community. Ian suggested using her name as the by-line for the recipe as a small tribute to her legacy. For Ian, the Valley holds deep significance, and it was this connection that inspired him to enter his recipe. The recipe book, to him, is a means of honouring the community and preserving cherished culinary traditions.
