What we cook and how we cook it speaks volumes about who we are. Coded in every elaborate dinner party spread and humble Monday night meal for one is a picture of where we’re born, where our ancestors come from, and how we live now.
What does your favorite meal say about you? For “RECLAMATION: Recipes, Remedies, and Rituals,” an upcoming virtual exhibition at the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) in Washington, DC, curator Melani N. Douglass wants to know.
Douglass is inviting anyone and everyone to share their favorite recipes through an online form. You’ll be asked to share the ingredient list, a picture, and the directions, as well as some behind-the-scenes fare: from where did this dish come? From whom? How and when do you eat it?
