“My favorite dish my mother makes is braciole. This recipe has been passed down in my family for generations. My mother got it from her mother, who got it from her mother, and so on. The aromas of her cooking this are my favorite memory and when I smell it cooking I always sneak a bite while she’s cooking. To prepare the braciole, she takes flank steak and rolls it out and marinates it in olive oil and garlic, then takes hard-boiled eggs, pine nuts, and raisins, and places that in the middle of the meats and rolls and ties the meat. Then she sears it in a large pot and then covers it with tomato sauce with thyme, and oregano. This easily is my favorite and most memorable dish. My mom still makes it for me every year on my birthday, and I eat everything in sight. –Angelo Sosa, Social Eatz

“My mother’s steamed fish with ginger and scallions. It’s easy yet elegant and healthy. I make it all the time on Long Island with rice and sautéed greens.” –Anita Lo, Annisa

“On weekends the whole family would be home and we’d eat breakfast together. My mom would always make biscuits and gravy because it was one of my dad’s favorites. I would always try bugging my mom while she was trying to make breakfast for our big family, so in order to keep me out of her hair, she taught me how to make the biscuits. It was the first thing that I learned how to cook. –Linda Japngie, Cafeteria

“My mother’s leche frita was my favorite dessert. I feel connected to my childhood Spain when I’m here. It sits at room temperature on top of the counter, so it was easy to grab a slice when I came home from school or playing around. It was my reward as a little boy. My wife makes my mother’s recipe, but I like my mom’s version more.” –Alex Alejandro, El Parador Café
