When shared with family and friends, food transcends beyond its textbook definition. Smells, flavours and preparation are connected to family history – passed down from one generation to the next through storytelling. Across social statuses and racial lines, every family has a recipe (or two) that they cherish. Family recipes tell a story. They connect you to people, places or memories. Koe’sister magazine goes one step further, celebrating these recipes through heritage stories.
