When | made oatcakes, they didn’t taste anything like my mother’s, though | followed my mother’s recipe to the letter. They tasted good enough, but they tasted of my essence, not my mother’s. There are no two cooks that can make the same dish; you’ll find that essence in one and not the other. Or the essence in each is just different. | don’t know, But you’ll know the essense of a good cook when you find it ina dish. You’ll just know. It was there in my mother’s cooking. My father knew it.
