I didn't learn until after my grandmother died that her recipes were in her head. The recipes she wrote down were for other people to copy, not hers to follow.
I also didn't know that when she said '1 cup' of something, that meant a literal cup (aluminum tumbler) which was actually 6 3/4 ounces (we measured the one she always used).
So no, I can't cook like her because what she did and what she wrote down were two completely different things. Had I known then what I know now...
