RECIPE ARCHIVE

Maya Elena continues to create an archive of comfort recipes and conversations held among members of communities across the United States. Beginning with the question,

“What recipe brings you comfort? Food holds tradition, history, and support for many people. What does a recipe hold for you?”

The Recipe Archive started as part of their Senior Thesis Project at Bard College in 2023.

Networking Breathwork,

"What food reminds you of comfort or home? What memories pop up for you?  What meals do you love to share with loved ones?"

As a group, students shared dishes that brought them comfort growing up and their handwritten recipes to add to the Recipe Archive. On Bard campus, making authentic comfort meals from our homes can be difficult due to obtaining ingredients. For students who could not bring the food that they love, they brought food that brings them closest to comfort now to share.

WHAT RECIPE BRINGS YOU COMFORT?
