The Story Behind the Recipe
Readers share the stories behind their favorite recipes.
Old-Fashioned Cream Pie
When my father started talking about an old girlfriend's cooking, my mom baked him this little number. He decided she was a keeper.
The Best Spice Cake
Okay, it's technically a fruitcake. But it's moist, cinnamony, and delicious -- nothing like that December dessert everyone dreads.
Leftover Turkey Soup
It's made from Thanksgiving leftovers but it tastes amazing. And no one will believe the old school trick that pulls it all together.
Noodle Kugel
My dad loved to draw, so when I asked him for our family's famous kugel recipe, he used more than just words to show me how to make it.
Pasta with Feta, Black Olives, and Tomatoes
I've traded my futon for a real bed but I'm still loving the pasta dish I learned to make in college.
Moist Apple Cake
I searched and searched for the perfect recipe to use up our family's apple-picking haul. Lucky for you, I found it.
Mrs. Potter's Chicken
This insanely easy recipe has been passed among family, neighbors, and friends for decades. That's how good it is.
Italian Bread Salad
I could never get my son to try new foods, but he's suddenly become an adventurous chef, and this panzanella is one of our favorites.
Maraschino Cherry Cake
My mom's favorite cake recipe seemed so retro that I didn't make it for years. But I recently rediscovered its deliciousness.
Easy Party Guacamole
There's no way I could invite guests for dinner and just wing it. But with casual guacamole I found a way to fake that kind of cool.
Holiday Roast Chicken
Believe it or not, I'd never roasted a bird before and I wanted this one to work miracles. Turns out, it kind of did.
Popcorn Balls
Don't even try to come between my family and our fluffy kernels -- we have a long history of being obsessed with the stuff.
