folk recipes
Handed-down kitchen wisdom
Folk recipes are traditional cooking instructions passed down through families or communities, typically by oral transmission or handwritten notes rather than formal cookbooks.
They often lack precise measurements—a pinch of this, a handful of that—relying instead on intuition developed through practice.
Folk recipes preserve regional cuisines and cultural food traditions: My grandmother's folk recipes never made it to paper.
