What makes you feel nostalgic?

What makes me feel nostalgic? There are certain traditional dishes in my culture that we only make at specific times of the year. Whenever I prepare these dishes, my mind is transported to my mom’s or grandmother’s kitchen. Though they’ve both passed away, I can still see them cooking—adding just a little more of this or a little less of that, explaining why those small adjustments were the perfect measure. Those moments in the kitchen are forever etched in my memory, and cooking these dishes brings me back to the warmth of their presence.
