Our Work
One Practice, Many Forms
A collection of living practices that preserve, document, and strengthen the relationships between food, memory, and community.
The Food Stories Project is expressed through several interconnected initiatives. Each approaches food from a different angle—preservation, nourishment, storytelling, education, and community—but all are rooted in the same practice of paying extraordinary attention to ordinary lives.

How These Practices Connect
Each project explores a different question, but together they form one body of work. Like the living networks found in nature, these practices strengthen one another through relationship. Stories nourish recipes. Meals build community. Women’s knowledge shapes foodways. Hospitality creates belonging. Each practice feeds the others.
Begin Anywhere
There isn't a right place to start.
You might begin with an essay, join a heritage dinner, preserve a family recipe, subscribe to The Weekly Kitchen, or simply spend time exploring the archive.
However you arrive, we hope you'll leave seeing food—and the people behind it—a little differently.
