Caribbean parents do the same craziness.... there is NO measurement... you just let the ancestors guide you 😂😂😂

[omaimaf]

Arab moms are the same they say “you weigh everything with your eye”. my cousin once just screamed “your eye and my eye don’t have the same weights” which is an understandable response 😂

Hearing, smell, taste, and the ancestors guidance is how you cook... Recipes are just a guideline 😁

I am brazilian, my mom teaches me recipes the same way! “Just put it in the oven”, “for how long?”, “you will know when it’s done” 😂

[avah_liz]

When they get mad bc you don’t know how to flip a tortilla without dying 🥲

[hahahaha]

I literally remember my grandma shoving the pan in my face and being all like “remember this smell, this is what it’s supposed to smell like” 😂😂😂

[sgrant]

"Sniffs in Spanish" got me - I absolutely do that when cooking 😂 How else am I supposed to know what other seasoning to add?!

[Ali-ibzd]

As a southerner our moms use "until it looks right" as a genuine measurement & you season until your ancestor tell you it's enough

"When it comes to seasonings... stop when the ancestors tell you" -grandma

My German mum taught me to cook with a recipe and said "if you mess up, pretend you didn't. Keep going and no one will question it."

[LCBanga]

Black southern moms like mine cook the same way. “Just a pinch” or “till it taste good” we’re measurements and “till it browns” or “till it looks done” we’re timeframes 😂😂😂

My mom doesn’t even teach me to cook things, she just expects me to constantly be watching her in the kitchen 😭

[rawdaaljawhary]

"Now you can get married." 😂😂😂

As the daughter of a Polish mother, I confirm that whenever she cooks dishes, she seasones them by eye. Mom doesn't use any measuring cups and her dishes always turn out very tasty. 😊

[tobennaokoli]

Africans: “Mum can you teach me how to cook”

Mum: “you mean you didn’t come out of the womb knowing how?!?!”

as someone who learned my food-industry job from an entire kitchen of hispanic people, this is both accurate and incredibly nostalgic.

[bamsbeyrek]

My mom casually walks in on me watching you and one glance at you, she says "marry her." She made me burst out my coffee. 🤣🤣🤣

[reemalabed]

It warms my heart to read all these comments and see just how much our cultures are alike ❤

[roscub]

My mom tells me that I need to learn how to cook because I can't always rely on others. She knows I'm not interested in getting married, but she cares about my well being and that's the best reason for me to learn.

“Como que no? Yo quiero nietos!”
So real! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
