I am a good cook but my grandma is a FANTASTIC cook. She used to always prepare huge holiday dinners every year but now she has gotten a little too old to do the cooking at gatherings. The problem is, for years we've come to expect certain dishes to taste a certain way and it's just not the same anymore. I have been trying for years to get recipes from my grand but she never uses recipes. She knows if something is not right "by eye". She never measures, just adds a pinch here or a dash there and it always comes out PERFECT!! I am afraid that when she passes on family get togethers will never be the same. Last year I had Thanksgiving at my house and my big brother made the comment, "The macaroni and cheese is good but it certainly doesn't taste like grands (grandma). Not that me and my sisters can't cook but it's not the same and it's kinda sad knowing that we will no longer be able to eat her sweet potato pies, buttermilk biscuits, collards etc. Anyone else having this problem?
