I’m building Grandma’s Recipe Story because family recipes carry more than instructions. They carry the taste of home, the traditions we grew up with, and the ways our families show love. Many of these recipes live in someone’s memory. The measurements are “a little,” “one handful,” or “until it smells right.” Behind each dish is a story: who taught it, when the family prepares it, and why it matters. Writing down the ingredients captures only part of that knowledge. As a parent, I want my daughter to be able to cook a family dish one day and understand the story behind it—to hear the original voice, recognise familiar expressions, and feel connected to the people who passed it down. Grandma’s Recipe Story will help families preserve that knowledge through a conversation. A family member records a loved one explaining a dish, and Meta’s Muse models help turn the recording into an editable recipe and family story. The original voice stays attached. When an instruction is unclear, the app asks a question instead of inventing an answer. My goal is to make preserving a family recipe feel less like an unfinished project and more like spending time together. I want to help families capture these everyday traditions while there is still an opportunity to ask, listen and learn—and give the next generation something they can cook, hear and keep.
