Receipt layer
3 receipts waiting.
Tori holds a large baking tray in a generic prep kitchen while Janelle stands nearby with a smaller covered dish.
Tori said she could handle the big tray.

I thought she was helping.

Tori sprinkles a crisp topping over a large tray in a generic prep kitchen.
But she changed the recipe.

Different topping. Different seasoning. Same family memory.

Tori stands by a praised potluck tray while Janelle watches from the side at a generic family reunion.
Everyone loved her tray.

Then they asked for the recipe.

A warm tabletop evidence scene shows an old unreadable recipe card, blank new cards, two different potluck trays, serving spoons, napkins, and plates.
The cards made it messy.

Old recipe. New version. One name on the table.

Janelle and Tori argue quietly near a generic potluck table while relatives blur in the background.
I said it was still our recipe.

She said the version was hers.

Janelle, Tori, and relatives sit around a generic potluck table with divided reactions.
The reunion split over one recipe.

Name the family. Claim the remix. Credit both.

Janelle stands quietly by a generic potluck table holding an unreadable old recipe card and looking conflicted.
So whose name belongs on it?

The family, the remix, or both?

Evidence

Check the details.

The old card

Janelle says the dish started from Aunt June's reunion recipe, the one relatives ask for every year.

The changed version

Tori changed the topping and seasoning, and people clearly preferred the version she served.

The new cards

The recipe cards beside the tray pointed people to Tori's version without naming the family recipe it came from.

Pick your side

Should Tori name the family, claim her version, or credit both?
