Sample Recipes

Every recipe has a story behind it waiting to be told. Some recipes are created to avoid waste in times of hardship or are simply tweaked until they meet the chef’s high expectation. Within your family, there are likely some foods that always seem to be around whether for a special occasion or a typical family dinner.

What recipe truly takes you back and causes you to reflect on your family? We want to hear your recipe stories! Below are some examples of recipe stories and memories from our own FamilySearch patrons. Try your hand at sharing your recipe story on FamilySearch and then share it on social media!
