Marta was a young pastry chef who lived in a small mountain town. From a very young age she had shown her skill in the kitchen and especially with cakes. She worked in a small bakery in the center of town, but her dream had always been to have her own business. One day, she decided that it was time to make that dream come true and she opened her own bakery in a small store in the center of town.
Marta had heard of an old formula for making a particularly delicious pumpkin pie. It was a secret kept by the women of her family for centuries, and it was passed down from mother to daughter. Marta knew that she had to find that recipe if she wanted to be successful in her business.


One day, Marta received a letter from her great-aunt, who lived in a small town in the middle of the mountain. The letter stated that the recipe for the special pumpkin pie was hidden in a chest in the basement of her great-aunt's house, and that only she could access it.


Marta did not hesitate to embark on a trip to the mountains to find the recipe. However, her path was not easy. She had heard of bandits stalking the mountain in search of treasure, and she did not want to risk having the recipe stolen. But her determination was strong, and she bravely entered the mountain.


After several days of walking, Marta finally arrived at her great-aunt's house. The house was dilapidated and looked as if no one had lived in it for years. Marta decided to explore the basement in search of the chest that contained the secret recipe.


In the basement, Marta found the chest, but it was locked with a very complicated lock. However, she did not give up and worked hard to crack the code. Finally, the lock opened and Marta was able to access the contents of the chest.


Inside, she found the handwritten recipe, along with an old journal. Marta began to read the newspaper and realized that it belonged to her grandmother, who had been a great cook. On the pages, her grandmother described her adventure in search of the rarest and most precious ingredients to make the perfect pumpkin pie recipe.

Marta was surprised and excited to discover that the recipe and the story had been passed down from generation to generation in her family. She decided to follow in the path of her grandmother and go on an adventure to find the perfect ingredients and create the best pumpkin pie the family has ever seen. With her journal and the recipe in hand, Marta was ready to begin her adventure.

Marta's story became a story of love and dedication to tradition, and continued to be told from generation to generation as a reminder of the importance of keeping our roots and culture alive.

This is a nice story, I would have loved to read a bit of dialogue between Marta and her great-aunt though. I can only imagine there are many sweet sentiments around this recipe! It was wonderful to see Marta's determination, and to think of generations to come enjoying this sweet treat thanks to her. 💚
