Our Story
Where every recipe has a memory
Welcome to PassedDownPlates, a lovingly curated collection of over 602 recipes gathered from handwritten cards, worn cookbooks, and treasured family memories. Each recipe here tells a story—of holiday gatherings, Sunday dinners, and the simple joy of cooking for the people we love.
A Collection Born from Love
This collection represents decades of family cooking. From grandmother's famous carrot cake to dad's secret barbecue sauce, these recipes have been tested countless times in home kitchens, adjusted with notes in the margins, and passed down through generations.
We believe that the best recipes aren't always the fanciest—they're the ones that bring people together. The chocolate chip cookies that became a tradition. The soup that heals a cold. The birthday cake that's been made every year for three generations.
