My mother loved to cook, but almost never followed anything written down. She did it all by her "gut!" One of my favorite recipes of hers took me almost ten years to work out so that my version tasted almost like hers!

Probably some of the reason you can never duplicate the taste is your taste buds change after years. I've been trying to recreate my mothers receipt for Poor Mans Cake and now that I've about got it feel guilty eating it since it isn't exactly heart healthy. I may try to substitute healthy oils for "Spry". By the way Spry is no longer sold.
