Every family has its signature dishes — the ones made for special occasions, handed down in handwriting smudged with flour. These recipes are more than just instructions; they’re pieces of history.
Take time to cook them with the people who know them best. Watch how they measure “a pinch” or “just enough” without looking. Ask about the origins — was it from a neighbour, a relative, or a cookbook long out of print?
Write them down, photograph the process, and share them with your family. Food connects generations, and every time you make that dish, you bring those who came before into the present.
