Famous for? Naw, not really.
We all love it when my grandpa makes his menudo, but not a lot of people know about it outside our family.

Fried chicken, ribs and sweet potato pie. SPP is my mother's specialty. She should market it.

Isn't that against some federal law?

Nope no fame, but I used to love to bake, I thought of it as an art form. Then my husband had to watch the carbs, now he is diabetic. Then a year or so ago he developed high blood pressure now he can have no salt. Cooking is a drag when you can't season anything. I use more spices and herbs to try to disguise the fact that there is no salt in the food but it is still a drag! I do it because he loves to eat and I want to keep him alive.

baking is one thing that my mother claims she did--- she swears that she used to bake apple pie from the tree in our back yard... only problem.. no one in the family remembers the tree--- and there were absolutely NO pies! LOL

Oddly we had a Quince tree and a sour cherry tree in one yard. I never used either for pies. I went on a jam making kick though and made several jams one year. I decided the quince would make great apple jelly, so I carefully made a lovely looking jelly, a soft clear pink hue really pretty. The problem was I used the normal amount of pectin and apparently quince have plenty of natural pectin, the jelly was literally like rubber.
However my baking skills were not imaginary, I loved it. I baked for others and enjoyed that too. Its been about 12 years now since I stopped baking for the most part, and my touch has gone. I make as many failures now as successes when I make birthday cakes for kids and friends.

I don't know about famous, but in family circles, my sister is known for her desserts (cakes, pies, etc.) and I have an aunt who hooks the hell up out of some mac and cheese.
