In reply to the discussion: Do you still have cookbooks? Do you use them? [View all]Phentex
(16,500 posts)52. That's funny about your daughter!
My kids have asked about some recipes but I was really into experimenting in the kitchen so much of what I made can't really be repeated. I can give them an idea though.
I do have a funny memory about a recipe. Early in my marriage I attended a bridal shower for one of my husband's nieces. Aunt Joan made a veggie pizza she called Spring Pizza and it was a big hit. I got her recipe and made myself a little recipe card. Over the years, I made it several times for family gatherings and people always commented on it. Many years later Aunt Joan told me how much she enjoyed it and I said well I got it from you. She absolutely denied ever making it! Here I am with a recipe card called Aunt Joan's Spring Pizza!
