One of my great aunts used to be a caterer and is a very good cook. However, she refuses to give out any of her recipes to ANYONE. At a baby shower this past weekend, she declared (as she does at just about any function whenever anyone says they like what she's made) that no one will get her recipes until the day she dies. And when she says no one, she means NO ONE.
I know they're her recipes and she can do what she wants with them, but I just found it a little rude. I've always taken wanting to exchange recipes as a pretty high compliment. Even if I did have a recipe that I wanted to keep secret, I'd at least let my family in on it! I can totally understand not exactly wanting friends and other visitors in on some things, but FAMILY???
What are your thoughts on this?
