right? i taught some friends (who have kids) how to make one of my favorite bacon tomato pastas. now it’s not just my secret family’s recipe, it’s our secret families’ recipe. and honestly, i am really bad at keeping secret recipes.
that’s the kind of thing i’d pass down to whatever kids i might have had. now i go in and volunteer at my wife’s class. i’m really hoping they do some kind of simple cooking unit because food is my #2 passion.
I’ve never understood the idea of secret recipes, except maybe for a business. You found a really great way to make something, and it’s more important to you that it’s associated with you than that more people get to enjoy it? Bizarre.
In general I agree! There are specific people I wouldn’t share with just because they’re either 1. Bad at following recipes and would blame me and the recipe for it being bad instead of their shitty cooking or 2. They’d immediately use it to one up me and be really mean about it. That last group currently does not exist for me but use to.
Yeah, those are valid points. I’ve seen some people go out of their way to let someone else know if they figured out the secret recipe, and I can see not wanting to share with people like that.
