In this episode of Thrillist's Best Podcast, I learn the enduring value and myriad benefits of learning family recipes -- especially those passed down over generations -- by speaking with:

Superstar chef Aarón Sánchez on learning to cook from his mother and grandmother, and the ingredients they prefer in their kitchens
Rosella Rago, on her show Cooking with Nonna, and why nonnas are the unsung heroes of the cooking world
Erin Byers Murray and Cindy Wall, two of the women behind Dirty Pages, showcasing the stories and legacies behind so many family recipes
Kunal Patel, Kunal Patel, Kush Parmar on their project Curryageous, dedicated to examining and preserving family recipes and their stories

In the end, I'm so inspired I actually attempt one of my own Grandma's recipes (one of her own "dirty pages")... and fail miserably. But at least I learned something.
