Mothers are frequently seen as the gatekeepers of the transmission of food-related meanings and practices to their children, but little is known about how they transmit cooking-related aspects. This study aimed to understand the intergenerational transmission of cooking-related meanings and practices using a life course perspective and a constructivist grounded theory approach to present a substantive theory. The study was carried out in southern Brazil with 27 women. The core category Finding my own way in the kitchen from maternal influence and beyond is explained by four other categories. The first three show (1) that daughters implicitly and explicitly learn the idea of cooking responsibility from their mothers; (2) that mothers influence daughters by the way they involve children in the kitchen and by the feelings they express regarding cooking and (3) that daughters learn cooking practices observing their mother's cooking, cooking together, receiving instructions and eating their mother's food. The fourth category shows that daughters recreate what they learned from the mother according to their own life trajectories, social and historical context, and the people they interact with. Some of what they recreate is now part of their mothers' lives, resulting in a bidirectional influence. Strategies designed to encourage cooking need to challenge the view that the activity is solely a woman's responsibility, as well as communicate to the parents that their influence goes beyond transmitting cooking practices, as the attitudes and feelings they express towards cooking are also transferred.

从母亲的影响和其他方面在厨房里找到自己的方式——基于巴西女性生活故事的扎根理论研究

母亲经常被视为将与食物相关的意义和做法传递给孩子的看门人，但对她们如何传递与烹饪相关的方面知之甚少。本研究旨在使用生命历程的视角和建构主义的扎根理论方法来理解与烹饪相关的意义和实践的代际传递，以呈现实质性理论。该研究在巴西南部进行，共有 27 名女性。其他四个类别解释了核心类别在受母亲影响及其他影响下在厨房里找到自己的方式。前三个表明（1）女儿含蓄而明确地从母亲那里学到了做饭的责任感；(2) 母亲通过让孩子参与厨房的方式以及她们表达的对烹饪的感受来影响女儿；(3) 女儿学习烹饪实践，观察母亲的烹饪，一起做饭，接受指示和吃母亲的食物。第四类显示，女儿根据自己的生活轨迹、社会和历史背景以及与之互动的人重新创造了从母亲那里学到的东西。他们重新创造的一些东西现在是他们母亲生活的一部分，从而产生双向影响。旨在鼓励烹饪的策略需要挑战这种活动完全是女性的责任的观点，并向父母传达他们的影响不仅仅是传播烹饪方法，
