Mama's Cooking Is Always the Best

Check out these recipes that didn't make it into the magazine:

Over time a culture’s unique ways of talking or living will evolve and can eventually become watered down, even lost. But it has been said that the last thing to go, the one thing that persists through generations, is food. Our tastes, our favorite dishes, our warm memories of Mama’s cooking stick with us.

Talented and experienced cooks across North Carolina can add a pinch and a dash to make a simple dish shine. About half of you gave equal credit to the love with which the dish was made. A word to the wise from many who wrote: Ask your mother or your grandmother how she makes her signature dish today. It will never taste as good when you make it yourself, but maybe that’s not the most important thing.
