Paired with a favourite wine and a chocolate cookie for dessert. This, and so many others, can transport me to another time and place. A comfortable memory, a feature of home enriched with haptic dimensions in more ways than I can count. But it is, as we adult our way past childhood homes, difficult to recreate in the same way. These recipes have built community in many places—as products of local resources, a way to survive another day. And with proper nutrition, thrive too.
