Most of us have a favorite dish we enjoy making or that brings back fond memories. Perhaps it’s grandma’s cookies, or an aunt’s tamales or even a favorite weeknight dinner. These recipes are more than a list of measurements and instructions to follow; they are part of a heritage brought to life that we can share with others, savoring more than just the flavor of food in the process.
This year, Harvard Diggins Library is building a community cookbook and we need your help to fill it with wonderful meals. Share your recipe to make this cookbook truly special, a snapshot of the Harvard community as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday.
Welcome to The Common Table: A Harvard Community Cookbook!
Acerca de este proyecto
La mayoría de nosotros tenemos un plato favorito que disfrutamos preparar o que nos trae buenos recuerdos. Quizás sean las galletas de la abuela, los tamales de una tía o incluso tu cena favorita entre semana. Estas recetas son más que una lista de ingredientes e instrucciones a seguir; son parte de un patrimonio que cobra vida y que podemos compartir con los demás, saboreando algo más que el sabor de la comida en el proceso.
Este año, la Biblioteca Harvard Diggins está creando un libro de cocina comunitario y necesitamos tu ayuda para completarlo con comidas maravillosas. Comparta tu receta para hacer que este libro de cocina sea realmente especial, una exposición de la comunidad de Harvard mientras celebramos el 250 aniversario de Estados Unidos.
