Hey, have you ever turned an old family recipe into a little mystery, like a secret code you have to decode before you can even start cooking?

That’s brilliant—like turning your kitchen into a vault of riddles. I remember the first time my great‑aunt tried to “add a pinch of wonder” to her stew, and we ended up with a soup that could cure a broken heart. Maybe you should add a little pickling to your pie, just in case the riddles get too heavy—pickles are like tiny time capsules, after all.
