Great gram's rhubarb pie: 4 cups finely chopped rhubarb 2 cups sugar 1/4 cup all purpose flour 1 generous squeeze lemon juice Pinch of salt 1 heaping tbsp tapioca pearls Before placing top crust, spread small dabs of butter onto the filling. The crust will absorb it as it bakes and makes it super flakey, and gets rid of the weird store bought crust after taste.

This is so much like the pie my mom and I made while I was growing up. Only difference is we used 3 eggs as the pie thickener instead of the tapioca. Rhubarb Pie like this and taking an extra stalk of rhubarb eating it sprinkled with sugar makes me thing of summer vacation.

[@kubabojarski8950]

I never thought a Food Theory episode would actually show that Mat and i, along with many other people have a lot in common. Both raised Polish, a lot of interests similar to eachother, and have similar stories when it comes to ancestors. At the age of 4-5, my grandmother is someone i looked up to the most. She always had those iconic rainbow melon gummies lying around somewhere, and the best thing i remember her making was toast with that unforgetable pepper spice sprinkled around it. I still remember that party with my whole known generation invited by her, with those triangular decorations, tables, lights, music and fireplace set up, along with a basic mobile game needing to guess the names of certain games on it just for some fun of my own. Now with my grandma passing away since almost 9 years ago, that toast still lives on within my family, and my dad knows the exact recipe for it. God speed Matthew. May your cooking adventures live on

When I was younger my uncle taught me how to make amazing shortbread cookies from a recipe that was passed down for generations. I’m finally glad I have an excuse to share it! Short Bread cookies: 6 oz flour 3 oz cornstarch 3 oz sugar 1 stick of butter (softened) 1 egg yolk Steps: Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine flour, egg, cornstarch, and sugar in a mix bowl. Mix well. Slowly add in pieces of butter and continue to mix until a solid dough ball is formed. You may need to add a few teaspoons of water if the dough is not forming. Place individually cut cookies on a baking sheet and put them in the oven for about 15 minutes. Check them occasionally. Depending on the cookie size, you may need more or less time. Once the bottom of the cookies are golden brown take them out of the over and let them cool. Once the cookies have cooled a bit, but are still warm, dip or sprinkle each cookie with sugar. Leave them to cool fully and then enjoy! ❤

“Boston” Cookies: 1 ½ c. butter 2 ¼ c. brown sugar 5 eggs 1 t. salt 1 ½ t. cinnamon ¾ t. freshly ground nutmeg 4 7/8 c. flour 1 c. finely chopped walnuts 1 ½ c. finely chopped raisins 1/3 c. cool water 1 ½ t. baking soda (dissolve in water above) Combine chopped raisins and soda solution; set aside until the end. Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat well. Add salt, spices, and flour; mix well. Add raisins and nuts; mix well. Chill for 30 minutes. Drop by spoonful on parchment paper or greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 °F about 10 min, until nicely browned. Makes about 80 cookies.

Butterscotch Oat Squares 2 cups quick rolled oats 1 tsp baking powder 1/8 tsp salt 1 cup brown sugar (packed) 1/2 cup butter, melted 1/2 tsp vanilla Combine oats, baking powder and salt. Add sugar and mix. Add melted butter and vanilla, blending thoroughly. Spread mixture thinly into a 9 x 13 pan (ungreased) and press down with a spoon or spatula. Bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit until golden (about 20 minutes). Allow to stand 5 minutes, then cut into squares or bars. Allow to cool thoroughly before removing from pan.

But what we *haven’t* lost is their recipes, because every few years, we make a church cookbook. One of the ladies we consider one of the most iconic chefs in the church passed away in 2015, but her husband (who’s in his 90s) allowed us to put some of her recipes in a cookbook we just put out within the last year or two. Since the last cookbook when I was just a kid, I’ve taken up baking, and I have some of my own iconic recipes that are now in that cookbook. You don’t always realize how special something is until something like this video brings it to your attention. Thanks, Food Theorist team. ❤️

This may be my favorite episode you’ve done here on food theory. I really don’t have much in terms of memories of family or our history, but I do have a cookbook from my grandmother that makes me laugh. She was an amazing cook and baker in her time (though she wasn’t the best at cookies), and she left all the grandkids a cookbook. The problem was that she was a dump cook, so while all the ingredients are correct, none of them have the correct measurements. My sister spent years figuring it out, but I kinda treasure the book more with the wrong measurements. She had dementia during my time, so I never had any of her cooking, but I have the memories of her, and the cookbook reminds me of those days.

Simple yellow rice with chicken. You take four big chicken legs, seal them on fire with onion, crushed garlick and parsley, add wine to deglaze and let the chicken be made slowly with 8 cups of water, boiling. After a few mins, add 3 parts rice, add curcums or food dye and salt. And... that's my fave food. You can add olives, too, or even pepper. Some sour helps a lot with the flavor

Here's an easy recipe from my aunt's days in college Ultimate Grilled Cheese: 3 oz cream cheese 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder 3/4 cup of mayonnaise (it has to be mayo) 1 cup of shredded mozzarella 1/8 teaspoon seasoned salt A good type of bread. She recommended Italian bread or garlic Parmesan bread, but I found it taste just as good with regular sliced bread In a mixing bowl beat the cream cheese and mayo together until smooth, then stir in the cheeses and seasonings. After that you would spread it on some bread and cook it like a regular cheese sandwich.

2 years ago, me and my sister made sausage entirely from scratch. My great-grandfather and his brother ran a butchery together and they passed their sausage recipes down to their children. Over the years, my great-uncle and his granddaughter have been making the sausage and tweaking the recipes. My family still has the original sausage maker that my great-grandfather brought over in 1927, and me and my sister actually used it when we made the sausage. I only ever made the breakfast sausage once so i don’t remember the recipe but I thought it would be cool to share the story.

I am from a Cuban family on both sides and first generation in the US, and I have always wanted to learn further and garner an even stronger understanding of my family's culture. I love the foods my grandmother and now mother make for me, and I'm eager to learn more. Seeing ajiaco representation especially brought me joy and nostalgia from my own family making it. The first recipe I was taught to make by myself was cuban coffee. I remember the vivid memories of having my grandmother, mother, and aunt sit and talk while drinking coffee, and my mom giving me a little taste. Now, I have been praised by them for making the best coffee out of all of them and am eager to teach the next generation. Thank you MatPat for everything!

As per traditional Slovakian spin on the cabbage soup, try adding dried mushrooms, pieces of pork shoulder and plums! (It is called kapustnica, and we eat it during Christmas) Also, try forgoing the tomato sauce, sugar and chicken broth, and instead simmer it purely in hot water. It takes longer, but it is so worth it. Also don't be shy with those bay leaves and paprika, add more. And I heartily recommend adding a splash of heavy cream (sweet or sour) into any cabbage soup plate, makes it like a little piece of heaven (also it serves great to cool the soup down a little bit). Also, EAT IT WITH A PIECE OF BREAD ON THE SIDE! (the truly central Europe way)

[@maxwinters6458]

This episode really spoke to me. My grandpa passed away just a few years ago. He loved outdoor/cowboy-style cooking, and he became somewhat famous in my Boy Scout troop for it. When he died, my grandma gave me all his old cookbooks. Very few of the recipes in any of these books were his own, but in a binder he had compiled, I had finally found his elusive Ranch Beans recipe. This was a recipe that he would put together for almost every family gathering. They’re delicious, they’re spicy, and they’re very filling. When I decided to make the recipe for myself, I tried them and immediately thought back to my grandpa and how much he loved his cooking ❤️

When you talked about how you guys took the time to experiment with your families recipes, that really highlights what a family recipe is supposed to be. Of course, it will always be nice to have the original, the first version of that recipe with you. But then that's just someone's recipe. Not a family recipe. It becomes a family recipe because you can change it, you can add or subtract aspects of the dish to your liking, and then pass it on to your kids. Then, they can do the same. So while its base started as the original recipe that your grandparents made, it now encorporates you, and every generation after you. It captures every single generation of your family, and it's something to cherish.

how to make Palačinke (Croatian Crepes) •3 large eggs •1 cup of milk •1/3 cup club soda (not flat) •1 cup all-purpose flour •1/2 teaspoon of fine salt •11/2 to 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, divided •11/2 to 2 tablespoons of canola oil In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs and milk until well combined. Mix in the club soda. Add the flour and salt and stir with a whisk until only a few lumps of flour remain. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. As the flour is absorbed by the wet ingredients the batter will smooth out. Once rested, stir the batter until smooth (though a few lumps are okay) to prepare for cooking the crepes. Heat an 8-inch nonstick crepe pan or skillet. Add 1 of the teaspoon butter and 1 teaspoon of the oil. Add about 1/4 cup of batter to the pan, tilting and swirling so it covers most of the bottom of the pan. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes until both sides are a golden colour. Add extra flavourings like eurocreme (or nutella), jam etc. And Enjoy!
