Start with both hands open and flat, with your fingers together and palms facing somewhat downward or toward your body. Position your hands near your dominant shoulder. Roll your hands forward over each other in a continuous, tumbling motion as you move them outward and away from your body.
Sign 'family', then 'three', and use the sign for 'generation' moving forward to visually demonstrate the passing down of the recipe over time.
Sign 'young', then 'generation', followed by 'love' and 'new technology'. Emphasize the forward motion of 'generation' to indicate the youth moving into the future.
Sign 'protect', 'earth', 'for', and then use the sign for 'generation' moving forward and outward to emphasize the descendants who will come after us.

Moving the sign backward (rolling the hands toward your shoulder) changes the meaning to 'ancestors' or 'past generations.' To mean the current or future generations, you should always roll your hands forward and away from your body.
Yes! This same rolling forward motion is often used to sign 'tradition' or 'passed down.' It shares the exact same conceptual root of carrying something forward through time, from one group of people to the next.
Generally, your dominant hand starts closer to your body and initiates the forward rolling motion over your non-dominant hand. However, the exact starting position is less important than ensuring you have a continuous, forward-tumbling movement.
