Meaning of Food Recipes

Recipes continuously have been passed down from generation to generation, but do we really know the meaning behind these recipes? The meaning in cooking-related terms behind recipes, is simply “taking back,” or “receiving.” Whether it is just a simple recipe, such as my grandmother's “chicken and spaghetti”, it's important because there is always a story attached to the recipe from those who originally made it. People often use the making of the recipes as an opportunity to tell stories of the past and of how the recipe was originated. There are many people who believe that recipes aren't important and don’t have any meaning; that they are just simple instructions to making food. On the other hand, there are people that believe that recipes have many different connotations. In my opinion there is no end to the meaning and importance of family recipes. Every single recipe has a unique meaning to them, in my case my grandmother's recipe helps bring our family together. Cooking from the heart, side-by-side with the people you love, is more than just keeping your family fed; it's keeping them united. There are many ways in which a recipe travels, but the traditional way is in person from one hand to another. For example, getting hands on activity by watching the originator make it and helping them out. Recipes are passed down to the children by their ancestors. Some recipes have even traveled through many different generations and geographies. In my case the first to ever make the recipe official was my grandmother. She was the first one that took her time to write down the instructions and steps into making her chicken and spaghetti recipe. My grandmother's recipe is unique, there is no other like her's. Her recipe consists of a magnificent sauce, spaghetti, and tender chicken. This mixture of ingredients contributes to the flavor, texture, and appearance of the dish. She said to add vegetables to the side of the plate so that it can bring a more attractive color
