How about your Moms?
When I wanted a certain recipe, I'd have to watch her make it and then measure everything she put in it. Then, when I had quite a few of her (our) favorite recipes, I made up a cookbook for each of the grandchildren with a picture of my mom carrying a tray of food, used as a watermark on each page, and then pictures of my mom with that particular grandchild. They loved them.
