Neither my academic middle-class nuclear family nor my lower-middle-class/workingclass/I'm-not-sure-what-the-boundary-is extended family do "secret recipes". I get the logic, but I suspect that the cultural institution of secret recipes is way too specific to support the argument being presented. I'm also suspicious of the highly specific characterizations of how working class and middle class people "invariably" behave.
