The dirty little secret is that 95% of “family recipes” came from the back of a box or cookbook.
Being on reddit a few times, I have to see if I can get it. If the recipe has a secret ingredient, he shouldn’t share it. If it something else, like a different cooking temperature and less time in the oven, he should. Wife has a recipe for a cake that been in her family for a 100 years. Her great great grandmother got it from a baker in Poland. She doesn’t tell me her recipe.
Fair, it’s the teens to share or not.
Because, ypu know, its not oike there are millions of recipes online just as good or better!
Bkmk
His dad probably got the recipe from Betty Crocker.
I’m always happy to share a recipe or cooking technique, but I don’t get upset if people don’t want to share theirs for whatever reason. It’s their call. I’m not entitled to their information.
Totally agree. Forced slavery (share with MY kids your tenderest memory of your late father whose wife I’m banging) is not the hill the stepfather should want to die on. Sounds like a pr*ck.
I SAY-—THEY SHOULD HAVE OBTAINED THE RECIPE BEFORE DAD DIED.
NOT FAIR TO PUT KID ON THE HOT SEAT NOW.
Could be... very well could be.
The mom should have. The step side of the family didn’t come about until the dad was gone.
