I actually just posted this in the food gore thread, but my mother is going through the same thing. Her memory is going pretty quickly so I decided I would make cooking videos with her before it was totally gone to make a fun little archive series for youtube. It makes her happy. Check it out if you'd like.

Get the important ones.
My mother shared her cookie recipe freely before she died, so even though I don't really bake I have a copy myself.
I was able to teach it to my students recently. It probably won't become their go-to cookie recipe, but I like to think it might be.

How far gone is she?
Old familiar music and pictures can help jog the working memory of people in middle stages of Alzheimer's.
I did at home care 30h/week for my great grandma in her late stage Alzheimer's. The only thing she never forgot how to make was this oily apple cake.
One day she'd get up and take all her clothes off and wander outside. Next day she'd get up and make an apple cake.

Unrelated to food but another Alzheimer's memory story: once I brought my sewing machine to help pass the time with hobby work. The sound of the sewing machine caused her to start going around opening and closing the windows, doors, and cabinets, saying "We're closing up shop, girls, we're closing up shop" over and over. Never knew but found out later that she had worked in textiles as a sixteen year old.

did I say soups, bitch? No, I fucking didn't. Baking is a different principal than regular cooking, based on precise amounts which can be replicated easily in something like a box mix.

That's sort of true but only because most people don't know how to bake and it's easy to make things worse by messing one thing up
If you know what you're doing and are consistent about it you can make something better than the box mix
Took me awhile before my vanilla cakes were better than box mixes; that shit is surprisingly hard and you do need to have good methods, the right ingredients, and of course, good measurements

Honestly most family recipes are just box or cookbook recipes.

My grandfather always had the best wings, he actually had a stand where he sold them at the local fair. People would ask and beg for his recipe. He always said he made his hot sauce from scratch and that was his secret.

Then about 4 years ago I got to watch him make his wings and it was just Frank's, butter and a dash of cinnamon and sugar in the mix. He said he loved eating hooter wings and one of his buddies was a chef at one and shared the recipe with him back in the 80s cause he liked it so much.

Same with my mothers sausage rolls, she would bring them to every holiday or event we had. They would be gone within minutes, people adored them. Beg for the recipe and my mother never gave it. It was literally the recipe on the side of the puff pastry box but she threw in a tiny bit extra butter in the meat.
