Aunt won't dish on how to make her dishes

The writer says the aunt brings from-scratch dishes to every family gathering but has refused four recipe requests.

  • A family member is expressing frustration because Aunt Tonia repeatedly refuses to share her "secret" recipes despite their close relationship.
  • During family gatherings, Tonia frequently brings delicious scratch-made dishes, including a key lime pie that disappeared within minutes at a cousin's birthday party.
  • Four times the writer has requested recipes and faced four rejections; on one occasion, Tonia promised "Oh, yeah, I'll bring them over," but never did.
  • When asked about the behavior, the writer's mother laughs it off, describing Tonia as "always been crazy" rather than addressing the persistent refusals.
  • Annie Lane writes the Dear Annie column where readers can submit questions or follow her on Instagram for ongoing advice on family matters.
