Teaching Family History through Cooking

Description: Tips for introducing family history to your children through cooking.

Years ago, grandparents passed their recipes down to their children and
grandchildren. Over time family recipes were established. Life has
gotten a little busier and many cherished recipes are being forgotten. Does
this sound familiar? Did you love Grandma's Zeppoli fried dough but no
one else knows how to duplicate the recipe?
Don't let the years pass you by without taking the opportunity to
share, cook and write down your family's favorite recipes. Start by making
your own family cookbook. Get your kids involved in cooking by showing
them how each recipe is prepared. Sometimes a lot is left out in family
recipes and many recipes have different ways of being prepared. Don't
just give your kids the recipe prepare it with them. This will help pass
down short cuts and discover different ways of making the tried and
true recipes your family loves.
These recipes don't have to be gourmet meals. A favorite dinner to a
child now can bring fond memories when they have a family of their own to
prepare the recipe for. Do they love your homemade lasagna? Write that
down or print off the recipe. Start their recipe collection now and
they can add to it throughout their years of cooking. It will become a
cherished collection.
Cooking is a great way to teach your kids about family history. If you
have passed down recipes teach them about their grandma, grandpa or
aunt who made this recipe. What were they like and what did they look
like? They might not have known a certain relative but they can have a
connection to them by making their favorite recipe. If no one in your
family has done this, start now with your own recipes and start a family
tradition.
