Tracing the Origin of a Recipe: Where Did It Come From?

In summary, to find the original source of a recipe, one can research the dish's history by looking through cookbooks, online archives, and asking friends and family. To determine the authenticity of a recipe, ingredients and techniques can be compared to traditional ones, and consulting reputable sources or experts can also help. Tracing a recipe's origin is important for understanding its cultural and historical context, preserving traditional cooking techniques and giving credit to the creators. A recipe can have multiple origins as many dishes have evolved over time. If the origin of a recipe cannot be found, it's important to acknowledge this and avoid claiming it as one's own. Reaching out to experts or online communities can also be helpful in tracing a recipe's origin.

Is this recipe in the website or in one of the recipe books? WHich one? I got a copy from the files here, but was wondering where did it come from... I am doing it at my next show
 
It's just something that people invented, and then PC finally put a version of it in the "Weekday Dinners Done" recipe card collection.
 
It is now in the Weekday Dinners - Done! Recipe Collection...
