Food Stories

Many of us have fond memories of preparing food with our family members and wonder why we never wrote down the recipes and stories. In this oral storytelling space, recipes are more of a learning process rather than a strict adherence to a recipe card. In this same space, we hear stories that reflect generational knowledge about food preparation and even the history of our favorite family recipes. In this workshop, we’ll look more closely at the opportunities for storytelling in food spaces. We’ll share our favorite recipes and think about how food narratives function as an important part of our family history.
