What To Do

Cook a family recipe.

 

 

How To Do It

Step 1:

Pick a favorite family recipe you want to cook.

(If you don’t know of any existing family recipes then learn how to make your favorite meal growing up or a dish you want to incorporate with your current family cuisine.)

 

Step 2:

Ask the relative who normally cooks it to teach you how to make it.

If this isn't possible then try cooking it with another family member.

 

Step 3:

Take a picture of the recipe you chose along with the final product you made. If it’s a tricky recipe then you may want to take pictures of the cooking process as well to document how to make it in the future.

 

Step 4:

Eat and enjoy!

 

 

How is this Family History?

 

Food can bring the family together.  The process of preparing, eating, and cleaning up from a meal allows for conversations, connections, and a chance to be together. Eating together is an important part of creating a strong and healthy family.

 

By learning a family recipe you are also carrying on a tradition. You’re learning from the past, continuing the act in the present, and creating the ability to pass your knowledge onto the future.
