AOTW: What is your favorite hand-me-down recipe --- from your grandma or aunt or best friend?
Smita Chandra: My mother is my biggest source of inspiration and her recipe for 'alu ki sabzi ' (potatoes cooked with thickened yogurt and spices) in Cuisines of India, page 13, is my favorite.
Stan Frankenthaler: I love toasted and buttered pound cake! My maternal grandmother, Mama Boyd made the best vanilla pound cake. She never measured --- it just felt right. Then for dessert she would toast thick slices of the cake and slather them with sweet butter!! And sometimes a scoop of toasted pecan ice cream!
Victoria Granof: >The recipe for Aunt Stella's 7-day Prune Cake that she passed down to her niece, my grandmother. It's supposed to last 7 days and get moister and moister, but it's always devoured by day 3!
Kathy Gunst: I'd have to say my friend Sue's amazing meatballs.
Elinor Klivans: >That's easy. My grandmother's cookies --- Sophie's Butter Cookies. They are easy, melt-in-your-mouth butter cookies. The recipe makes a large quantity and they can be easily decorated for any holiday.
David Lebovitz: My grandmother's recipe for Chicken and Rice with Apricots. It's the best comfort food in the world.
Sheila Lukins: My favorite hand-me-down recipes are Berta's Carrot Cake (my mother) and Granny Reesman's Stuffed Cabbage (my favorite grandmother).
Steven Raichlen: I have three favorite hand-me-down recipes --- all from my late grandmother, Ethel Raichlen. Grammie Ethel fudge, Grammie Ethel cookies, and Grammie Ethel chopped liver.
Joanne Weir: I love my mother's chocolate cake recipe. Actually we flew her from my hometown of Northampton, Massachusetts to Napa Valley last year so that she could come on my TV show and make her famous chocolate cake. I also included the recipe in my newest cookbook, Joanne Weir's More Cooking in the Wine Country. It is absolutely delicious!
