Deciphering Old Recipes
Each family has a special set of recipes that gets passed down through the generations. These are special recipes that mothers teach their daughters and grandparents teach their grandchildren.
But have you ever ended up with a recipe that was barely legible? Not because you couldnt read the instructions, but because the measurements dont make any sense. Well, each new generation has their different quirks when it comes to cooking. And also, languages are continually evolving.
Your best bet is to translate these recipes as soon as you end up with them. Ask the person who gave you the recipe to translate and clarify anything that doesnt make sense. That way you can have the translation for when you need to cook the recipe. You can save the old, handwritten recipe. Just make sure to preserve it so you will have it.
