What is the most treasured recipe handed down to you?

Question

What food is it, and who gave it to you. You don't have to give the recipe unless you wish to share. I was curious, because many of us have been fortunate to be given special recipes by dear family members or close friends. If you would like to share, I thank you.

Answer 1

When my sister brought home an elvis haired cajun from Lake Charles,pregnant from involvement of a missippi wafflehouse relationship, little did I realize the impact that had on my life. He taught me how to make a proper roux,how to boil crabs, Zatarain's,file powder, the whole nine yards. His dad taught him the recipe and he passed it on to me. It is much more than a recipe as it is a technique using quality condiments,cooking ability, and tossing down a few cold ones all in the process.To this day I can make a Gumbo that will make yall pull up stakes and move to mexico. I Garontee!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

My great-grandmother was from Toledo, Spain.

I have her recipe for Enchiladas Lorenzo that I make for my family occasionally. That, and her Salsa Chile Verde. It makes my mouth water, just to think about these two wonderful recipes. These recipes have been in the family forever, and I am passing them on to my descendents, also.

Answer 4

It's either the Butterscotch Cookies or the Winter Fruit Salad recipes that were first my grandmother's then her daughters and now all of us grandchildren/cousins. And the great grandkids all enjoy both recipes also.

In fact, I made the butterscotch cookies for my aunt's 70th birthday party at request!

Both are treasured and I share them with my family every year.
