SUBMIT RECIPES

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
As we travel around we are always learning about other traditions and family recipes. The Sugar Mommas realized that people want to share their childhood memories of cooking in the kitchen. Sharing a recipe is sharing your family history through cooking. Of course the most fun stories and traditions always include SUGAR!

FAMILY FOLKLORE
The Sugar Mommas are looking for recipes and the family legacy behind them. This is a perfect opportunity to ask your relative, dear friend, postmaster, school principal, caretaker, to share a recipe and to capture the most important part...the story. We want to know when Grandma Gertrude made her strudel, what time of year? Was it for a special occasion, e.g. birthday, holiday, back to school, or start of summer? What are the memories that surround the springtime delicacy or summer fruit tart? We want you to bring Auntie’s legacy to life, through her recipe!

When you submit a family sweet, we would like to know more than just the edible ingredients. We’d like a glimpse of the family it came from. Please give us some background information. Tell us about where the recipe originated. Share any fun stories and/or things your relative or source are “known for” among family and friends (this could be anything from being a great baker to being addicted to horse races to being able to do a backflip on request—even the most trivial things sometimes make the best tales). How many children/grandchildren did your source have? Was he or she born and raised in a city, or did the person have a rural upbringing? Where did your relative learn how to bake?
