A mother’s cherished tradition of cooking a special family recipe twice a year has led to a heated conflict with her daughter-in-law, Wendy. For the past 10 years, the mother has prepared a traditional dish from her country on the first Saturday of June and December for her family and friends. When Wendy, a rising chef, tried to help and give her own opinions on the recipe, it caused tension. Now, Wendy has decided to make the same dish on the same weekend, and the mother is left questioning if she’s in the wrong for sticking to her tradition.
