Personal Canons Cookbook

The Personal Canons Cookbook is a series of free-to-read essays that ran throughout 2023. Essays ranged from reflections on a favorite childhood snack to explorations of funeral-reception staples, with lots in-between and beyond. Each piece ended with a recipe that invited readers to connect with the essay in their own kitchens.
