from the larder
Whether the strands of your DNA are spaghetti or the only medicine your body responds to is your grandmother’s chicken soup, food constitutes the foundations of our being. Here’s our virtual larder of personal essays, exploring the ways food tethers us to home, belonging, and identity, and why family recipes can become our most treasured heirlooms.
