If god had intended us to follow recipes, He wouldn't have given us grandmothers.

About This Quote

This quote means that recipes are nothing more than a crutch people use to take away the responsibility for their lives. It is not the recipe that saves us, it is our own ability to take care of ourselves, but we often keep ourselves from being able to do this because we are afraid of failing or because we are afraid of how others will judge us if they see what we are doing wrong.
