Handing Down History Thru Recipes
Recipes are a type of storytelling handed down thru the generations.

Homemade
Cooking Heritage
Word-of-mouth is still customary in certain cultures, as this
is the primary way recipes are passed down from one generation to the next.
However, for the most part, the oral tradition of sharing beloved family recipes
is becoming a lost art.
Perhaps
a loved one passed away before you learned what the ingredients and techniques
were. Maybe the recipe was always there and taken for granted.
A loved one
experimented long ago, perhaps failed at the recipe but, tried again, finally
succeeded in creating a family recipe, and passed it down by word of mouth. However,
after a generation or two, the recipe's origin becomes a mystery and a family
legacy fades away.
"Eating is
a need, enjoying is an art."
Handing Down History Thru Recipes
Grandparents,
parents and kids cooking together in the kitchen sharing secret family recipes
connect together as a family avoiding the generation gap that happens when
there is little to no communication across generations.
It's
true that including the children in your cooking routine requires extra time
and more patience than we sometimes can muster, however, especially when the
children are younger it is well worth the effort.
With a bit of luck, handing down recipes will
become a storytelling adventure introducing long passed away loved ones to a
new generation through a family recipe.
