The following is from a contemporary short story. Whenever Dad cooked, he insisted that no one else enter the kitchen — not to set the table, not to refill water glasses, not to ask about timing. What emerged from these closed-door operations was always extraordinary: braised lamb that pulled apart at a glance, soups that tasted like distant cities. None of his children, now grown, had ever learned to make a single one of his recipes.
