we followed my indian grandmother around with a cup measure and before she'd dump whatever it was we grabbed her hand and measured. it took months.

A recipe from my grandmother calls for 1/2 eggshell of cold milk. We’ve been making this recipe for 25 years since she passed and never deviated from that method

weigh a bowl of the ingredient, have her pull from the bowl, whatever is left over afterwards subtract from the original amount and that's the amount you wanna use

Asked my dad to teach me to make one of my fave dishes and instructions included statements like “until it’s ALMOST burnt” “whatever amount looks right” “smell to see if more spices need to be added” and, my fave one, “it’s done when it looks ready”.

My mom tried to teach me to make Spanish rice and my favorite was “just look at it you can tell it needs salt.” MAAM. No, I cannot

My southern Grandma/Mom always told me she'd "just have to show me" because she just "gaumed everything together" there was never truly a cook book unless it was baking. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

My sister and I were trying to get my grandmas recipe for stuffed cabbage. She told us what to do..we were in her kitchen. When it was done she said it's very good, but not like mine😜🤣

My Ma's marinara sauce says, "Good amount of oil, throw lotta in garlic and stir it a little. Then get distracted and brown it on accident" And it legit makes a huge difference in the sauce.

From one Italian to another-those are exact measurements as far as I am concerned. ☺️

I got tired of my daughter asking for exact measurements for ingredients so I hunted down a measuring spoon set & measuring cup that literally had it on there…a dash, a pinch, etc. the cups top line said “the ancestors have spoken” 🤣

One thing I learned growing up, the best cooking doesn't need measurements. You just add till it feels/smells/looks right. And when in doubt.... "little more" 🥰
