Do you use your mother or grandmothers recipies?

I do always use my mother's meatloaf and beef stew recipes. They are just great and even passed them along to our kids. I don't make cookies any longer or anything sweet because I will eat everything in sight. I use to make cookies from my grandmother's recipe and would eat them when they first came out of the oven. Our kids were always complaining because they didn't get enough. I am so bad when it comes to anything chocolate too.

I don't have any of my grandma's recipes. Sadly she never wrote them down. My mother didn't have recipes she kept either. That is why I started to write down my recipes. I gave each of my kids a recipe box one year that had all of my favorites written out in my own hand. They appreciated them.

i do try to cook as my mother cooked.i often got tips about cooking from her,so i tend to fall back on her,when i am in need ,interms of cooking.

My grandma is the person who taught me to cook and bake. I have alot of her old pots and pans as well as her cookbooks. I love using her recipes it makes me feel close to her. My daughter just e-mailed me for the family sugar cookie recipe,so on it goes to another generation.

Hi Jill, No I have no family recipes to try, my mother was an orphan and ill for most of my child hood so I done a lot of the cooking for myself and my brother. There are no family receipes as such but I do make my own kitchen fun for my own children and I make sure that I make cakes at least once a week with my son. Not works of art but we think so and they taste yummy. The recipes handed down to my children from me though will be called 'Mum's Mish Mashes'. My childrens friends have even tried to get me to make a book of recipes made from these strange leftover items and whats in the cupboard meals when unexpected guests arrive LOL. Huggles. Ellie :D

I do both. As I think it is fun to start a new tradtion. Like my cheese cake that my one old biker boss told me how to make. It is so easy and fast. No bake. it has been in the family now for Thanksgiving and Christmas for over 20 years. So we make it and everyone loves it. Then there is my grandmothers chess pie that I no longer make. Takes to long and I'm the only one that eats it. Have a good day my friend your friend onlydia

I do not use any of my grandmothers recipe. As I never knew them. She has since pasted away. I do wish I had her chicken gravy and potatoe salald recipe. They were my favorite of hers.

Yes I still do use the old recipes of my Mom and my grandmother. I treasure those recipes because I think they really are good. And I think I'd ask my child to learn these recipes as well so he could pass them to his wife and their children and their children's children and so on and so forth. Actually almost all of the main dishes I cook at home are from those old recipes.

No, i don't.. i use my own recipes when cooking.. but i have plans of getting palatable recipes from them..mom and granny are the best cook in the family..

Hi Jillhill: Yeah I've always used my Mother's and my Grand Mother's recipes, I collect many recipes just like they did too but when it comes to fixing or baking anything its always my old favorites, you just can't beat them; My Mom when she was still alive would just collect tons of clippings even though she had the best ones already written down, typed out, food bits smeared on many of them to where they are hardly readable but that's ok, I know most of them by heart anyway (G)! But anyway she used to "experiment" with new recipes and we always would complain MOM, why try it a different way when the way you are doing it is SO MUCH BETTER?? that part would drive me nuts!! but I too collect many of them!

I use a recipe for Molasses cookies that was passed to me from my grandmother. She was able to trace the recipe 3 generations which now makes it 5 with me. I used to make them with her every year and I have just about perfected the recipe to to taste just like hers. I do like trying new recipes but there is nothing like the ones passed down!

yes i will also use my grandmom recipes and enjoy with my famly .i will also try new recipes from recipe books.

It is always a tradition down to use our mom's recipes, often commonly refer to "mother's cooking" , besides trying our own recipes.

Of course I use those time-tested recipes. Especially my mom's recipes because they are always mouth-watering! Well, it would take a lot of practice for me to perfect her recipes because sad to say, she just eyeballs measurements. So if I ask her for her recipe, she cannot give me specific measurements! sigh! On the other hand, I also like trying out new recipes. but if I need to impress my husband, I just call mom for some of her recipes.

Actually I don't have any of their recipes. My Mom is a pretty good cook when she wants to and so was my grandma but I never got any of the recipes for what they make. I just tend to do my own and be happy with them. You have gotten me thinking though and I think next time I'm over I will ask them about some.

My mother cooks very simple food and I love it. Years after leaving home too, I yet crave her food, some things I try and cook like her, but the end result isn't exactly the same. So, yes to respond to your discussion, I do use my mother's recipes for some foods I always loved from childhood and they turn out well, but i always end up feeling she made it better !

Absolutly. We have recipies that have been used for generations that we still make. Do they tast the same probably not. My great grandmother never saw a super market in her life or frizer. all she used was fresh produce. I know that even things that my grandmother made dont taste the same when we make it but at least we try :))) I use old and new recipies or I change the old a bit.

I do a little of both. I have some old recipes from both of my grandmothers. I use some of them, but there are others that I find in newer cook books or I find online. I have a recipe for Aunt Annie's Rolls that has been in my family for quite awhile. They get made at almost every family get together.

I use my mother's recipies to do cooking too. Evryday off duty, i will go to the market and buy some fresh food. Sometimes, my recipies is what i am thinking momentarily. It is the new one i would like to try.

I will try Both. Because However former cookery recipe always there bearings with cookery recipe to come. However Us learn that science pursuant to antecedent. So come on learn cook from antecendent for the shake of the future. Why not....
