JOEL'S JOURNAL
From gracing tables celebrating important milestones, to being a well-deserved treat and a comforting pick-me-up, cake is more than just cake.
Today, in my own kitchen—in a city far from my lola’s house—you’d find a piece of paper scribbled with her recipe tucked in the shelf of staple seasonings and fancy salts. I haven’t tried cooking it, but it gives me a lot of comfort knowing it’s there—that I can access her recipe, that I can access my family.
When words are inadequate, food steps in as a powerful symbol of thoughtfulness, gratitude, and appreciation.
Discover the joy of cooking from scratch. Made by hand meals bring mindfulness, self-care, and connection through simple, homemade food.
When it comes to the social experience of eating, the line in the sand between introvert and extrovert is softly drawn. Whether it’s with a friend, or five, or you alone, you decide how many get a seat at your table, and it needn’t be the same number every time.
From curing, salting, and drying we explore how food preservations have evolved and the iconic gourmet products they have birthed.
