I don’t get people who won’t share recipes, tips, and cooking secrets. - Dennis S - 11-29-2021
You impress them with your good cooking so they’ll have more regard for you and then piss them off by not sharing.

Guessing you are in the south. If you were up North you would get the recipe in detail with pointers whether you want it or not.

I don’t either, and yes I am in the south as well (like Dennis).

Heck, I want to set up a booth with a sign that says “Ask me how I made the green beans. “

They won't share the recipe because they want you to keep coming back to them for more. Or, if they do share the recipe, they'll leave out one tiny ingredient or step so that your version is good but not quite as good as theirs. Basically they want to get you hooked on their cooking so they can become your "dealer".

They don't want you to find out that "old family recipe" is something their grandma or great grandma got out of a magazine or off a box of one of the ingredients. Many of these old recipes can be traced back to ones published in the various magazines such as Good Housekeeping, Harper Bazaar, and so on decades ago.
