Do you know anyone who feels that cooking is “in their DNA”?
Do you feel that way? What have you witnessed among family members or friends who have a passion for cooking or baking?
Ms. Fabricant claims she picked up many tips and habits in the kitchen from her mother. What have you learned by watching others — whether friends or relatives or chefs on TV or social media? Who is the best cook or baker you know? What makes that person’s dishes so special?
What is a recipe you wish you could make? Or, if you aren’t into cooking, what is a recipe you wish someone would make for you? In your family, are there any recipes or methods of cooking, baking or entertaining that have been passed down from one generation to another? If so, do you think you will carry on that tradition? Will you make any tweaks? What is your favorite dish? Who makes it best? What is especially delicious about it? How much interest do you have in cooking? If you cook — even prepare just a recipe or two — who taught or encouraged you? And what have you learned from that person about preparing meals, savoring dishes or trying new flavors?
