Reconnecting Through Cooking: How Family Recipes Deepen Bonds
00:00:00.000 | My mom never gave me a single recipe, ever.
00:00:02.880 | I wish she did sometimes, right?
00:00:04.560 | If you have a recipe that you want from your mom
00:00:06.840 | or your aunt or your uncle,
00:00:08.800 | I think what you find more often than not,
00:00:11.280 | what I'm guilty of and I'm sure everyone else is,
00:00:13.400 | hey, text your mom,
00:00:15.240 | hey, can you tell me how you make that dish?
00:00:17.640 | Can you give me like specifics?
00:00:20.000 | I think probably what would be more impactful
00:00:21.640 | and I don't wanna seem cheesy or hokey is like,
00:00:23.880 | get on a flight, spend a long weekend,
00:00:26.720 | and make it with them.
00:00:28.520 | That's what I think is missing in a lot of these things
00:00:30.720 | is like the recipe can actually prevent you
00:00:32.920 | from actually learning actually
00:00:34.080 | how to actually make it right.
00:00:36.200 | For example, I've lived in Los Angeles for two years
00:00:38.120 | and I don't know the names of any of the fucking highways
00:00:40.920 | because all I do is follow GPS, right?
00:00:42.800 | But I understand that most people's cooking
00:00:44.840 | is like car GPS for them.
