本文介紹了一個(gè)家庭中的食譜對(duì)全家人的重要意義，突出了傳承家庭食譜的價(jià)值，倡導(dǎo)在學(xué)習(xí)和傳承食譜的過(guò)程中增強(qiáng)家庭紐帶意識(shí)，牢固樹(shù)立家庭觀念。

There are millions of recipes （食譜） hidden in the boxes and hearts of grandmother and parents. These family recipes are a special part of our family history. Some of them have been passed down from generation （一代人） to generation.

“I realized I couldn’t go home every weekend for my mom’s delicious dishes，” says Shreya， who is about to enter university. Shreya has recently started following her mother around the kitchen， taking notes on how to make her “masala chai” and tasty kachoris.

“Those special tastes can immediately unlock a whole flood of emotions， memories and feelings of family， love， and comfort，” says she.

She adds， “I am looking to the day when my kids will come to know of their grandmothers through the recipes.”

But many of us find it difficult to keep the food connection with our busy life. Even if we have time， not many of us take the effort to collect and record the recipes from our grandmothers and parents. We often get a recipe on the phone and take it down quickly on a piece of paper. We just stick it onto the fridge for a week or two and forget about it as soon as the paper disappears from there.

Actually， there are simple ways to keep family recipes. Scrapbooks（剪貼簿）are easily found in the market. You can even add photos to record every detail of your memories about the recipe. With the help of some popular apps like Story Scans， recording family recipes has never been easier. What is needed is to scan（掃描）the recipes and record the story behind each of them. It can become the most meaningful work you have ever done with and for your family.

Keeping family recipes is saving and honoring our tradition so that future generations can continue to make family tie stronger. Every time you remember your loved ones， recreate one of the dishes from your collection and let the memories from the good old days comfort you. So why not gift your kids a family recipe book when they are starting a new life？

傳遞食譜

在祖母和父母的箱子里與心里藏著數(shù)百萬(wàn)種食譜。這些家庭食譜是我們家族歷史的一個(gè)特殊部分，其中有些是代代相傳的。

“我意識(shí)到我不能每個(gè)周末都回家吃媽媽的美味佳肴，”即將進(jìn)入大學(xué)的史瑞婭說(shuō)。史瑞婭最近開(kāi)始跟著媽媽在廚房里轉(zhuǎn)來(lái)轉(zhuǎn)去，記下如何做“瑪莎拉齋”和美味的卡喬里斯。

她說(shuō)：“那些特殊的味道可以立刻釋放出一大堆情感，引起回憶，讓人想念家庭，同時(shí)感到愛(ài)和溫暖?！?/p>

她補(bǔ)充道：“我期待著有一天，我的孩子們會(huì)通過(guò)食譜來(lái)了解他們的祖母?！?/p>

但是我們中的許多人發(fā)現(xiàn)很難將食物與忙碌的生活聯(lián)系起來(lái)。即使我們有時(shí)間，我們中也沒(méi)有多少人會(huì)努力從祖母和父母那里收集和記錄食譜。我們經(jīng)常通過(guò)打電話問(wèn)到一份食譜，然后很快記在一張紙上。我們只是把它貼在冰箱上一兩個(gè)星期，一旦紙從冰箱上消失，就把它忘了。

實(shí)際上，有一些簡(jiǎn)單的方法能夠保存家庭食譜。剪貼簿就很容易在市場(chǎng)上找到。你甚至可以添加照片來(lái)記錄你記憶中關(guān)于配方的每一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)。在一些流行的應(yīng)用程序（如故事掃描）的幫助下，記錄家庭食譜從未如此簡(jiǎn)單。我們需要的是掃描食譜并記錄每一個(gè)食譜背后的故事。它可以成為你為你的家人所做過(guò)的最有意義的工作。

保持家庭食譜是對(duì)我們傳統(tǒng)的保存和尊重，這樣后代可以繼續(xù)強(qiáng)化家庭關(guān)系。每當(dāng)你想起你所愛(ài)的人，就從你的收藏中重現(xiàn)一道菜，讓美好的往日回憶安慰你。所以為什么不在孩子們開(kāi)始新生活的時(shí)候給他們一本家庭食譜呢？
