Teach your little cousin the family recipe. A dish survives by being handed to someone younger, not by being saved.

Keeping something safe and keeping something alive are different jobs. A recipe folded in a drawer is only paper, and the knowledge of how much flour is actually too much lives in whoever has stood at the counter and done it wrong once. Anything handed down survives in hands rather than storage, and the moment you teach it there are two of you who know.

Pick one thing your family makes and cook it with a younger cousin or sibling this month. Let them do the messy part instead of watching you. Being trusted with the measuring is what makes a kid remember it.
