How did I get this recipe?

The first time I saw this recipe, I was immediately intrigued. I had always loved salmon and pot pie, but I had never thought to combine the two before. It was a cool autumn day and I was flipping through an old cookbook that I had inherited from my mother. As I turned the pages, I stumbled upon a faded, handwritten recipe for Salmon Pot Pie.

The recipe was simple, yet elegant. It called for flaky pastry crust, tender chunks of salmon, hearty vegetables, and a creamy sauce. It seemed like the perfect comfort food for a chilly evening. I knew I had to try it.

I decided to make the Salmon Pot Pie for my family that weekend. I gathered all the ingredients I needed and got to work in the kitchen. As I chopped the vegetables and poached the salmon, the familiar scents of butter and herbs filled the air. It felt like coming home.

I carefully assembled the pot pie, layering the ingredients in a deep dish and topping it with a golden crust. I popped it in the oven and waited anxiously for it to bake. When I finally pulled it out, the crust was flaky and golden, and the filling bubbled beneath it.

As my family sat down to dinner that night, the aroma of the Salmon Pot Pie filled the room. I served them each a generous portion and waited anxiously for their reaction. As they took their first bites, their faces lit up with delight. They couldn't stop raving about how delicious it was.

From that day on, Salmon Pot Pie became a staple in our household. Whenever the weather turned cold, I would make a batch and we would all gather around the dinner table, savoring each bite. It became a tradition, a symbol of warmth and togetherness.

Over the years, I have made the Salmon Pot Pie countless times. I have tweaked the recipe here and there, adding my own personal touches and experimenting with different ingredients. But no matter how many times I make it, the dish always brings me back to that first time I saw the recipe in my old cookbook.

I often wonder where the recipe came from. Was it passed down through generations in a family, like so many of my other beloved recipes? Or was it created by a talented chef, inspired by the flavors of the sea and the earth?

Regardless of its origins, the Salmon Pot Pie holds a special place in my heart. It represents the joy of discovery, the satisfaction of creating something delicious, and the love that I pour into every dish I make for my family.

As I grow older, I cherish the memories of making Salmon Pot Pie with my loved ones. I know that one day, I will pass the recipe down to my grandchildren, along with the stories of how I learned to make it. And I hope that they will find as much joy and comfort in it as I have.
