[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL gave me a book of all their family recipes in it. I don't even cook but I cherish it![/quote]

How nice for you.  I re-gifted to my DH the one his mother gave me.  Their HIS family recipes, not mine.  I've got my own family recipes and I'm not interested in theirs with a few exceptions.  If the recipes are important then DH can learn to make them. [/quote]

OP again…she has asked me to write some recipes and I bought her a box to keep the cards in and cards that she picked out .  Also, my son is an excellent cook and has his own set of cookbooks , but my future DIL has requested that I write out some recipes for some family meals that my son likes.   Her mother and I (we are good friends) have two different cards so she will know whose family they are from .  [/quote]

NP. That’s very nice. Family recipes shared upon request are great. The assumption to give family recipes to the woman marrying in instead of the man from the family is what some people do not like. And then I’ve also seen people ask for family recipes only to be told no by their MILs. Some people want recipes, some don’t; some share, some won’t. [/quote]

+1 Gifting these unasked is pretty presumptuous. [/quote]
