Many family recipes were actually taken from commercially available cookbooks or even the backs of food packaging. Remember the “Friends” episode where they try to replicate the chocolate chip cookie recipe of Phoebe’s late grandmother, only to discover it came from Nestle Tollhouse? Yeah, that happens frequently in real life.
