Traditional Family Recipes

Many family recipes have been passed down through the generations without knowing when, where, or how they were originally prepared. Each participant will choose an old family recipe and explore its origins and history. Where did it come from and how was it first used in the family? For example: A granddaughter asks her mother, “Why do we cut both ends of the pot roast and place them on either side before we cook it?” Mother responds, “I don’t know, that’s how my mother did it.” Grandmother says, “The roast was too big for the pot so I cut the ends off to make it fit.” Who knows what might be discovered?
