Family Gathering

Family Gathering host Grant Nielsen talks food with Paul Matta and Wendy Smedley with Family Search. Paul has  a family recipe featuring a special pepper that doesn't grow locally.  To get the recipe right, he had to procure and keep a special plant.  That shows dedication to family tradition! Family dinner is a chance to set aside electronic devices and talk about your day.  That's an opportunity to create a family identity.  When you feature traditional family recipes, that's another opportunity to teach your children what it means to be a part of your family. Paul has a tradition where on their birthday, each family member gets to choose all the meals for the day.  Everyone has their favorites.  Every child will pick sometimes very different things. They also talk about an exhibit at the Church History Library on Temple Square.  During the holiday, they're displaying family, ward, or stake cookbooks they've collected.  Lots of communities put these together.  Make one for your family.
