Recipe Archive 

"What recipe brings you comfort?" Through this series Maya Elena continues to create an archive of comfort recipes and conversations held amongst members of the community. Starting 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 began as a part of their Senior Thesis Project at Bard College.

'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?"

Together as a group, students shared dishes that brought us comfort growing up and their recipes. On Bard College campus it can be difficult to obtain ingredients to make authentic comfort meals from home. For students who couldn’t bring the food that they love, they brought food that brings them comfort now to share. During the potluck students came together to reflect and share what rest means to them and reflect".    (Nurturing Numbers Senior Thesis)

​

All recipes are handwritten and titled by the individual who wrote the recipe - Maya Elena will be continuing to collect recipes over time - If you would like to share your recipe and story, Maya would love to share them in the Archive!
