Activity #3
Learn a Family Recipe
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.
