Gathered: A Women’s Community Cookbook

My wish for this year is to eat yummy food with the people I love… and I figured recipes by the people I love is even better!

For generations, women have shared recipes through handwritten cards and county cookbooks. Each dish carries a story, a season, a place.

This project is a continuation of that tradition.

I’m creating a community recipe book made up of recipes shared by women in my community across Ontario, and Canada, and the world.

This is for the food that feeds families, marks celebrations, and shows up on our tables again and again.

If you have a recipe (or a few) you love… one that feels like home, freedom, comfort, or joy — I’d love for you to share it here.

You can choose how you’re credited, and what (if any) contact information is included with your recipe. (In my county’s old cookbooks they used to have the women’s addresses at the bottom. I wanted to keep on with that tradition, but in a modern way).

Once the book is created, designed & published, I intend to have the proceeds go back into the community, or to have it be a not-for-profit item.

This book is about connection, nourishment, memory, and community <3
