Morphology
The meaning 'a recipe passed down through generations' is directly derivable from combining 'traditional' (pertaining to customs passed down) with 'recipe' (a method for preparing food). This compositional, non-idiomatic pattern is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Traditional recipe comes from families passing a favourite recipe from grandparents to children, often on a worn card or by cooking together. That's why it means a recipe 'kept in a family or community' and used in the same way for many years.
