Game 70

Who ruled the kitchen at home

The family cook

The game's question

Ask the question, then let your mum or dad tell the story at their own pace.

In every home, someone ruled the kitchen. The gestures were learnt by heart, everything done by eye and by hand. A wooden spoon held out to taste, a smell that said dinner was nearly ready and sometimes one recipe the whole family asked for whenever there were guests. In your house, who did the cooking, and what did they make best?

A story to tell – there is nothing to find

Need a hint?

When a name comes, ask gently how that recipe was made. A family recipe holds a whole story: let it unwind, and keep it going.

Why this game : A loved face, its gestures and its flavours: remembering the family cook hands down a real heirloom.
